چکیده
Background & Purpose: In research organizations, human capital is regarded as the most important source of knowledge creation, innovation, and organizational performance. Accordingly, the effectiveness of human resource management in such organizations largely depends on the extent to which human resource policies and practices are aligned with the requirements of knowledge generation, development, sharing, utilization, and retention. Despite the growing importance of knowledge-based human resource management, there remains a need for a model that is tailored to the characteristics of research organizations. Therefore, this study aimed to design and develop a knowledge-based human resource management model for research organizations.
Methodology: In terms of purpose, this study was developmental-applied, and in terms of methodology, it employed a descriptive-survey design conducted in two stages. In the first stage, the Delphi method was used to identify and validate the dimensions and indicators of knowledge-based human resource management. The Delphi panel consisted of academic and organizational experts with relevant expertise and experience. In the second stage, managers, experts, and knowledge workers were surveyed to assess the current status of knowledge-based human resource management. Data were collected using a Delphi questionnaire in the first stage and a structured questionnaire in the second stage.
Findings: The results of the Delphi process led to the identification and validation of an integrated knowledge-based human resource management model comprising six dimensions and 59 indicators. These dimensions included human resource acquisition, human resource training and development, human resource utilization, performance appraisal, compensation, and human resource retention. The assessment of the current status also indicated that knowledge-based human resource management at the Niroo Research Institute was not at a desirable level across any of the six dimensions. This finding indicates that existing human resource practices have not yet been sufficiently aligned with the requirements of knowledge-based work and the characteristics of specialized and research-oriented human resources.
Conclusion: The proposed six-dimensional model can provide a comprehensive framework for aligning the core functions of human resource management with the requirements of research organizations. Applying this model can facilitate the targeted acquisition and development of specialized human capital, more effective utilization of knowledge workers’ capabilities, establishment of appropriate performance appraisal and compensation systems, and ultimately enhancement of the organization’s capacity to retain talent and organizational knowledge.
