It is argued here, from a largely practitioner perspective, that a human resource development (HRD) strategy, allied with a global human resource management (HRM) strategy, is the effective way to link training policy and practice to organizational goals. Both manufacturing and service organizations require a critical mass of positive factors related to HRM to accomplish such goals. This involves the analysis of a myriad of internal and external environmental factors, a strategic approach in influencing key HRD stakeholders, and the formulation of HRD policies and plans in parallel with, and sometimes influencing, business strategy. This will link to all areas of the HR cycle - selection, appraisal, rewards and development - linked to individual, team and organizational performance.

Factor structures of Marine jet and helicopter pilot training measures and post-training performance criteria are compared and discussed. Academic ability, flying ability, and systems comprehension factors were common to both samples. Additional factors unique to each sample were also identified. Significant relationships were found between some performance criteria and some factors, although the criteria factor loadings were low. The results of the investigation are compared with previous factor analytic studies of aviation training measures that did not include post-training criterion data. (Author).
