Abstract

Recently, Investment on HRM, particularly, on training and development, in companies has been increased. Therefore, HR managers pay attention to action learning that has the practical effect on performance. The purpose of this study is to introduce action learning as an efficient training method and simultaneously to raise operational issues from the case study. This study analyses a training and development program applying action learning for team manager candidates in corporate Hyosung from September, 2005 to January, 2006. The findings are as follows: First, inefficient processes are thrown out by the process reengineering applying action learning. Second, the training and development activity is maximized by the integrated use of internal and external facilitators. Third, the steady support of executives and the driving force of HRD managers are considered as main success factors.

기업에서 인적자원에 대한 투자의 중요성이 증가하고 실질적인 금전적 지출이 커지고 있는 상황에서 교육의 실질적인 성과 향상을 기할 수 있는 방안으로서 액션러닝에 대한 관심이 최근에 커지고 있다. 본 연구는 새로운 교육방법으로서 액션러닝을 소개함과 동시에 액션러닝 방식을 활용한 교육프로그램의 구체적인 개발 및 운영과정을 분석하여 액션러닝 운영상의 시사점을 도출하려 한다. 본 논문은 2005년 9월부터 2006년 1월까지 진행된 (주) 효성의 과장승격후보자과정에 대한 액션러닝을 적용한 사례를 심층 분석하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 액션러닝은 관리자들이 직무 수행하는데 문제가 되는 불필요한 과정을 개선하는데 도움을 주었다. 둘째, 액션러닝을 적용하는데 있어, 내부/외부 Facilitator들의 통합적 활용이 교육효과 극대화에 기여하였다. 셋째, 최고경영자 및 경영층의 지원과 인재개발팀장의 액션러닝에 대한 적극적 추진이 주요한 성공요인으로 판단된다.
