Manpower Development in the Context of Linear & Non-Linear Dynamic Environment in Arab Countries

Abstract

The ongoing globalization, where sharing, cooperating, and exchanging between the North and the South are the major concern of all, has made the transformation from Linear Dynamics to Non- Linear Dynamics present in both developing states of the South and developed states of the North. The above mentioned overall transformation in changes of environmental variables has precipitated serious need for reviewing paradigms and methodologies conventionally used by personnel to deal with their organizational environmental needs. Linear Dynamic approaches of thinking and doing, which are conventionally transmitted to trainees through various programs and plans to guarantee high quality services, are no more enough in the ongoing transformation towards Non- Linear Dynamic changes precipitated mainly by Globalization. Based on the above mentioned points, and due to the fact that various developmental efforts of state members of the South are not realizing their expectations… the following hypothesis is suggested for testing: Non- Linear Dynamic approaches, unlike the conventionally adopted Linear Dynamic approaches, have not been given due emphasis in training and developing personnel in the South. Three main 2006 training plans of three different Arab developing countries (United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and Oman) will be selected as intended sample for testing the above mentioned hypothesis. The analysis findings proved the validity of the research hypothesis .Some suggestions have been developed to give proper weight to the ongoing non-linear environmental dynamic.
