Stakeholders’ Development: A Paradigm Shift of Human Resource Development (HRD)

Abstract

Development of a nation is dependent over the development of children, which is further dependent over
their parents and schools. However, in developing countries like Pakistan, the focus in schools is on the
curriculum taught. But the development of a mother is generally ignored. The dire need is to identify the
dimensions of mothers' development and its institutionalization so that the development of children and
nation can be done systematically in the long run. The purpose of the research is to explore the factors
that influence mothers’ development for further nurture of child and generation development. A qualitative
methodology has been adopted to conduct the research. Thematic analysis and content analysis has
been selected as a tool for exploring the factors. The factors explored through transcribed interviews are
Language, Technology, Financial planning and control, Ethics, Decision making and critical thinking. The
themes are, Mothers are the custodian of the entire family and children nurture, Mother’s plays a pivotal
role in children education and personality development, A Society can be generated by Mother’s
contribution as a mentor. It is concluded that the development of a child and generation depends upon
the development of a mother based on the avenues (explored factors) where a mother needs to be
developed in the modern world and particularly in a country like Pakistan.
