In today's era, along with the progress of science and technology, the challenges and competitions of the modern world have created the role of "human resource management" for the greater effectiveness of employees and the possibility of identifying new potentials in every organization. Progress, development and becoming a lasting name is the wish of every business and organization. Human resource management is the part of every organization that seeks solutions for these challenges and tries to follow up on the goals and perspectives of the organization in addition to attracting expert forces. Therefore, the most important tasks and ways of functioning are the responsibility of the beating heart of every organization, that is, the human resources management unit.
In a developing country like Iran, more attention to human resources is needed to advance in the path of growth and reach the level of developed countries. Rapid changes in the way of doing business and the importance of the presence of specialist forces in organizations have faced challenges in human resource management in Iran. The most important challenges of human resources in Iran's government organizations can be seen as follows:
- Inequity in payment (large difference between the lowest and highest salaries)
- Not paying attention to meritocracy in the selection of employees
- Not paying attention to the welfare issues of employees and creating a balance between work and family
- The rapid growth of technology and lack of coordination with the old business structure
- Lack of motivation in employees due to large difference between payment and effort of employees
There are many challenging factors in the path of successful human resource management in Iran. Investigating and recognizing the roots of these factors will help to create a systematic structure based on employee satisfaction and increase their efficiency in the long term.
