Social Economic Development

Human resource is always a vital driving force for social-economic development of any country in the world. Developing human resource is, therefore, a top priority mission in development policies at every level from the firm scale to the national scale. In order to unify human resource development activities in one form, we need a strategy as a lighthouse to direct them. To the end, human resource will be utilized by firms, hence strategy for human resource development (HRD) must be built and developed at the firm level first. As a result, strategy for HRD at the firm level is studied and applied enormously both in theory and practice. To national level, the concept of national human resource development (NHRD) is still ambiguous and debated strongly among its scholars partially because several countries have not had a clear NHRD plan yet however they still have a high quality of human capital. Besides that, there are a lot of countries which are successful in putting forward and implementing clear strategies of NHRD. The article will examine these strategies and from this draw necessary lessons for Vietnam, a country looking for a complete and efficient strategy of NHRD.

Agriculture Extension

Agriculture extension primarily deals with the human resource development (HRD) skills as well as knowledge. In the agriculture scope, all extension agents must have the knowledge, training, and skills to fulfil the requirement as a good agricultural extension agent. As the profession of extension agents continues to grow, it is important to know the human resource development (HRD) skills gained by the extension agent of agriculture to measure their performance in the extension job. Thus, this study determines the influence of human resource development (HRD) skills factor with work performance among agriculture extension agent. This is descriptive and correlational research design. Using a quantitative survey methodology consists of 5 sections of questions (A, B, C, D and E). 182 respondents were participated in this study as a sample. Simple random sampling technique has been used to choose the sample. Data has been gathered from the respondents using a self-administered questionnaire. Data has been analysed using IBM SPSS version 25 to indicate the descriptive and inferential methods. In results, the level of HRD skills and performance of agricultural extension agent is moderate. All HRD skills show a positive and high correlation with agriculture extension agent work performance. The highest factor contributing to work performance is social skills followed by decision-making skills. The two factors from HRD skills (social and decision making) accounted for 72% significantly to the performance of the agriculture extension agent job. The main purpose of this study is to provide beneficial information’s for the extension agents, respondents and organizational framework in term of relationship between the work performance towards the agriculture sector in Malaysia. This study provides insights into the theory and practice of agriculture extension agents in Malaysia.

The Relationship

Although work design is a significant theoretical foundation of human resource development (HRD), it has garnered little attention from researchers in the HRD field. To help remedy this oversight, we review job crafting, which is one of the most recent and significant work design theories. After reviewing 28 empirical studies examining the relationship between job crafting and performance, we discuss future research possibilities and implications for HRD theory and practice. As job crafting has been shown to have a positive relationship with performance, we encourage HRD researchers and practitioners to extend their understanding and application of job crafting.
