The second part of the thesis presents the conducted research study in which data were collected from companies in Zagreb regarding the jobs, responsibilities, roles, and competencies of HRD employees using the method of grounded theory. The obtained theory, combined with the existing theory from the literature about HRD employees and the data provided by literature about pedagogues served as a basis for comparing HRD employees with pedagogues. As part of the research, data were also collected on the opinions and attitudes of individuals responsible for hiring workers in human resources development regarding the employability of pedagogues for those jobs. The purpose of the research was to gain insights into whether pedagogues can be employed in human resources development, while the aim was to explore whether pedagogues meet the needs and requirements for these jobs. The research results indicate that pedagogues can be employed in human resources development and that they are suitable for the needs and requirements of these job positions. Additionally, the research participants expressed a willingness to hire pedagogues in their HRD departments and believe that they could contribute to the development team within their organizations.
