The key factor for the success of modern organizations is human capital, and the main challenge they face is ensuring employee engagement, motivation, and productivity. Therefore, effective human resource management is crucial for successful organizational management today.

This multidisciplinary area is a business function represented in every profit and non-profit organization, regardless of their size, and is one of the key functions of managers. Indeed, modern human resource management contributes to achieving organizational goals by attracting talent, ensuring job satisfaction and employee engagement, effectively managing work performance, and monitoring the contribution of human resource management activities to the financial success of organizations.
