Human Resources Management in Private and Public Sector in Albania
Vebina Resuli
Introduction
Human resource Management can be described as a function in an organization that is designed
to maximize the performance of the employees on their strategic objectives. HRM functions
are broadly concerned with the management of individuals within a given organization which
focuses on policies as well as systems. The role of HRM is to of‌f er plans, develop as well as
administrate programs and policies designed to make expeditious applications of the human
resources in an organization. Over the years, the available literature has indicated that people
still do not have proper awareness of the importance of HRM functions. Moreover, it has
been argued that the most common model in the Albanian organizations is expected to be
the traditional model administrative. The governmental change in Albania is associated with
evolution and radical transformations in the economic f‌i eld. Establishment of governmental
pluralism and a market economy in 1991 brought the collapse of the state monopoly in the
Albanian. The transition from a centralized private system was accompanied by integral
changes in the market. In contrast to other countries, where the transition from controlled
markets in free markets was gradually, in Albania, this change was so fundamental.
This was a big change into a state that from 50 years, knows only one way of doing things.
Economy and labour force were planned and administrate from the state. The private sector,
in Albanian economy is expanding day by day, and the public sector uses more and more
competitive management practices with those of the private sector.
Although the unemployment rate remains relatively high, which makes it easier to f‌i nd the
workforce in the labor market, the Albanian organizations are beginning to realize more and
more, the necessity of recruiting staf‌f with the necessary skills and motivation. In developed
countries, human resources well selected and motivated are considered today, a competitive
advantage for the enterprises.
Objectives

awareness of the importance of HRM functions and whether the most common model
in the Albanian organizations is expected to be the traditional model administrative.
Questionnaires were spread in private f‌i rms and the public sector to identify what the
problems are with human resources management.
