Changing Roles and Professional Challenges for Human Performance Technology

Abstract: From its roots in behavioral science and instructional systems design, the field of human performance technology has broadened significantly during the past three decades in terms of its interventions and the backgrounds and skills areas of its practitioners. This development brings with it many questions as to the field's definition, theoretical underpinnings, and future developments in research and practice. A brief review of the history of HPT, a survey of some of its leaders, and a model of the roots and b… Show more

“…HPT is an applied field drawing from many other applied fields and academic disciplines. With this recognition, Gayeski (1995) drew a tree schema in comprehensively describing the relationship between HPT and the other related fields. We asked the panelists to share with us what they judge to be the most influential fields and disciplines that have contributed to the development of HPT.…”

“…As a multidisciplinary field, performance improvement draws on many disciplines such as communications, systems theory and applied psychology (Gayeski, 1995); economics, organizational theory, business administration, labor relations, psychology and accountancy (Brethower, 1995); and, economics, psychology, systems theory, sociology and more recently ethics (Hatcher, 2000;Swanson, 1999). Although technology has not been regarded in the literature as a theoretical foundation, its present prevalence justifies its inclusion as a foundation and worthy of equal discussion.…”

“…According to Foshay and Moller (1992), HPT is an applied field, not a discipline; as such, its ''theory is likely to develop through the synthesis of models from cognate fields and underlying disciplines' ' (p. 708). Numerous authors have attempted to identify those particular cognate fields and disciplines-among them, Brethower (1995), Dean (1996), Dean and Ripley (1997), Foshay and Moller (1992), Gayeski (1995), Pershing et al (2008), Rosenberg, Coscarelli, and Smith Hutchison (1992), Schwen, Kalman, and Evans, (2006), and Sugrue and Stolovitch (2000). Although a wide variety of cognate fields have been postulated to be foundational to the HPT field, those most frequently cited are psychology, systems theory, organizational development, instructional systems design, and communications theory.…”
