Abstract:

Formed on a wider project on Individual Human Resource Management and Development (HRMD), this project aims to explore Individual Career Management and Development (CMD) as an emergent professional field of HRMD. Our conceptual framework working proposition is that HRMD is a field progressively grounded on individual approaches. If traditionally HRMD was mainly theoretically and empirically sustained in collective strategies and practices, contemporarily individual strategies appear to get dominant in all HRND process, such as an exemplarily in recruiting, selecting, performance management, compensating or training.
