Proposing a Model of Human Resource Planning in the Public Sector with a Focus on the Efficiency of Public Organizations

The current study was an attempt to present a model of human resource planning in the public sector with a focus on the efficiency and organizational productivity. The research population included the experts and managers of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance in Fars province. In this research, all 100 senior managers in the population were considered as the sample of the study since the whole population had a limited number of members, and thus, total population sampling was employed. Due to the lack of information on human resource management as well as the nature of management research, the target population had to be recruited from among the managers and experts of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance of Fars province, which justifies the statistical number of the population in this study. In order to identify the factors influencing human resource planning, library and Delphi techniques were utilized. The18 identified factors were evaluated considering 59 items. In the exploratory factor analysis, these 18 factors were classified into three groups of occupational factors, organizational factors, and individual factors. Moreover, conducting confirmatory factor analysis, the researchers examined the items, and the sub- and main factors.
