Abstract	This paper examines the concept and practice of human resource development (HRD) from a European perspective. It locates HRD, which is seen to refer specifically to learning, training and development activities, within the context of underlying people management theories (human resource management - HRM) or what can be termed as 'industrial or working life cultures'. The paper contrasts two theories of HRD derived from different ways of conceiving human resource management. The one that has more in common with classical European industrial values is the humanistic- developmental tradition. The competing model, which it is argued is growing in prominence in Europe, is the instrumental utilitarian way of looking at human resources. The paper concludes that Europe is at the crossroads at the moment in its search for a signpost leading it to human resource management practices that are socially sustainable. (DIPF/orig.).
