“…As Rummler (2007) noted, however, the field of HPT was not advancing because too many HPT professionals ''were trying to build a personal brand'' using different HPT models ''to distinguish themselves from each other in the marketplace'' (p. 9). Because of a lack of empirical research to determine if different models were working in the organization, it became obvious that a balance between theory and practice was rarely achieved in the field (Cho & Yoon, 2010). Previous reviews of HPT have shown a strong need for producing more empirical research using different methods, such as content analysis (Klein, 2002), web-based surveys (Pershing, Lee, & Cheng, 2008), Delphi (Huglin, Johnsen, & Marker, 2007), and citation analysis (Huglin, 2009a(Huglin, , 2009bJohnsen, Huglin, & Marker, 2008).…”
