Management and Development Process

Previously, based on the principles of classical management, there
was precise and detailed work division among various units of
organizations so that each unit, including human resource department,
acted on itself as a deserted island. Nowadays, neither can human
resources department evade the company’s strategy, nor can line units
shirk responsibility for the matters of human resources. The aim of
this study was to present a model for partnership of various units of
any organization in human resources functions. To design this model,
Grounded Theory was used. In the process of conducting the research,
first data were collected through participant observation. Then, the data
were adjusted to the new literature on human resources management
(HRM). Finally, a model was developed, on the basis of which the
operations of human resource management must be handled by the
partnership of line managers, top management, human resources
professionals and the staff themselves. This type of handling HRM is
called human resources governance (HRG). The use of this approach
is inevitable for the survival of organizations to adapt to today’s
uncertain and dynamic work environment.
