Organizations are continuously changing based on social, political, and economic conditions. HRD scholars and practitioners should think about new approaches to how they can engage with organizations and the people within them. Action research has been used as an approach in organization development for many years. While conventional action research has an emphasis on classical or traditional processes of inquiry, we present Community Based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) as new research approach with an additional level of critical thought and engagement that is in alignment with Critical HRD. CBPAR aims to create knowledge and action, but also aims to empower members of communities or organization who are marginalized or oppressed. CBPAR offers an exciting and alterative approach to organizational research.

组织会根据社会、政治和经济条件不断变化。HRD 学者和从业者应该考虑如何与组织及其内部人员互动的新方法。多年来，行动研究一直被用作组织发展的一种方法。虽然传统的行动研究强调经典或传统的探究过程，但我们将基于社区的参与式行动研究 (CBPAR) 作为新的研究方法，具有与批判性 HRD 一致的额外批判性思维和参与水平。CBPAR 旨在创造知识和行动，但也旨在赋予被边缘化或受压迫的社区或组织成员。CBPAR 为组织研究提供了一种令人兴奋的替代方法。
