The role of human resources management in career planning

Abstract

The current research aims to identify: -

First: The role of human resources management in planning the career path of employees of the General Directorate of Education in Diyala.

Second: Identifying the differences between the performance of male and female employees in the role of human resources management in planning the career path according to the gender variable (females – males).

The problem of the current research is that some employees are ignorant of the reality of the career path. There is a prevailing belief among some of them that the career path is linked to the employee's promotion to a higher position than his current job. This is a wrong belief, as the employee may find himself walking a successful career path without being promoted to higher job positions. Also, the career path is not limited to promotion in its common concept only, but includes the opportunities provided by different job alternatives and the employee's ability to choose and the experiences he acquires. Accordingly, the research problem is determined in the following research question: -
