Organizations increasingly operate within a global context. Likewise, human resource developers are challenged to examine the transferability of their efforts. Our analysis focuses on emerging testimony that marks and sustains the cultural sensitivity of our work. Empirical study between 1982 and 1992 was reviewed. Furthermore, we acknowledge the systemic importance of our craft by selectively reporting research in management and organizational behavior that affects cross‐national differences in the purpose and scope of HRD.
