|a The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of Mexican senior government agency officials with regard to the impact of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) on training and development practices in Mexico. By describing participants’ experiences regarding NAFTA, I explored if NAFTA is perceived as a driver for training and development of human resources in Mexico. This study was conducted using a qualitative methodology in the phenomenological tradition. The sample of this study consisted of five Mexican senior government agency officials from different pubic agencies that support training and development practices in Mexican companies. Data for this study were gathered thorough interviews; an open-ended interview protocol was used as a data collection instrument. The gathered data were analyzed through the constant comparison method. There were ten themes that emerged from the data analysis that describe the lived experience of the participants about the impact of NAFTA on training and development practices in Mexico. The major findings of the study indicated that Mexican senior government agency officials consider NAFTA as a driver for the implementation/development of training and development practices in Mexican companies. Based on the participants’ perceptions, NAFTA motivated the creation and development of national programs for training and development. The Mexican government has found in these programs a means to provide support to Mexican companies to increase their competitiveness. To be successful in a global economy, companies must be competitive. To be competitive they must fully develop human resources through sound training and development practices. |
