Team Learning and the Human Resource Development/Human Resource Management Interface

Abstract

This editorial reviews my work on team learning published in HRDR, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the journal. The articles conceptualized the value and need for member expansiveness; team’s and individual members’ readiness to change; and the effects of environmental pressures for adaptive, generative, and transformative team learning. I conclude this review with directions for future research and practice in HRD and HRM to support changing conditions, collective self-awareness, and variations in team interactions using advancing technologies.
