About the Conference:
The National Conference focuses on the fine synthesis of micro and macro approaches of both disciplines.

The National Conference is conceptualized with the following objectives:
- Re-examine human factors in the world of work with an aim to achieve organizational effectiveness.
- Review current practices in managing diversity.
- Follow recent developments in psychology and HRD.
- To collaborate and generate research ideas and practices through the convergence of this interface.
