Abstract
New concepts of organization development are not always useful in practice [1]. Moreover, they rarely refer to the achievements of other sciences. There are many reasons for that, for example, debasing other specialisations by showing their allegedly non-scientific qualities or negative character features of scientists. This is what contributes to the fact that human development is “fading away” faster.
The author of this article attempts to demonstrate examples from a given specialisation of how to use experiences of other sciences to maintain the development of human resources management as a scientific discipline and one of empirical sciences. In the author’s opinion, such a view, although somewhat revolutionary, follows Kuhn’s philosophy of science. The revolutionary character of our views is about restoring the knowledge accumulation rule.
