ROPPA invites abstracts for a special issue in ROPPA on Human Resource Management, the 2030 Agenda, and the Sustainable Development Goals: Whither the Public Sector? The special issue will examine how public sector HRM is addressing key global challenges such as inequality, climate change, economic growth, and social well-being, and how HRM functions like recruitment, training, performance management, building competencies, leadership development etc., contribute to the achievement of these goals. By analyzing both the successes and challenges faced by public sector HRM in advancing the SDGs, this special issue will offer valuable perspectives and actionable recommendations for enhancing the role of HRM in sustainable public sector development.
