The human factor is the key factor that affects the performance and effectiveness of an organism. Therefore, the manager of an organization is responsible for the management of the human factor of the organization, ie the selection, adaptation, development, motivation and the best possible utilization of its human resources in order to achieve in the most productive way the its objectives.

Modern social components push the search for the best way to manage human resources in education in an effort to identify errors and weaknesses of past practices and to formulate ideas and proposals for a more rational management of the human factor in education.

This course aims to provide a comprehensive knowledge on issues related to human resource management in an organization and especially in an educational organization.
