Abstract

Chapter five describes the people as technology (PT) concept and the complex relationships of technology development and people development within organizations. Systems theory is a foundational theory of human resource development. This chapter describes how the PT concept relates to systems theory in the context of HRD. Implications for how ethical and unethical behavior influences organizational systems are provided. Comparison of the five values of people and technology development to six themes of high technology development, the six major factors to determine knowledge-worker productivity, and the COVID-19 pandemic are also included.
