Faced with new challenge from globalization, technological and demographic changes, today organizational training takes a crucial importance in the development of human resources in organizations. From both a scientific and practical point of view, two major currents presently seem to rule this field a psychosociological current and an ergonomic current. The contributions of each of them in organizational human resources development are unquestionable, but the authors have observed significant levels of misunderstanding between the two, as well as a lack of dialogue and scientific objectivity. The present paper intends to initiate this dialogue with an eye towards developing training practices. The aim of this article is to help those who seek to train personnel to better orientate their choice of training. By becoming aware of the complementarity of the two approaches (compatible and different), the authors become convinced that it is essential to begin a dialogue in order to make organizational training practices more understandable and more effective.
