Analysis of Human Resource Management Challenges and Professional Development Strategies in Aras Hospital

Human resource management in hospitals has become the most critical of transformation in the healthcare system in recent years. In hospital settings, the quality of healthcare services, patient satisfaction, and organizational productivity are directly linked to workforce performance. Major challenges such as shortages of specialized staff, job burnout, weak motivational systems, ineffective professional training, and communication problems have turned into a strategic crisis that undermines the quality of care. The present study, using a descriptive–survey approach, analyzed the status of human resource management in Aras Hospital of Parsabad and examined the dimensions of these challenges. A valid and reliable questionnaire was used for data collection. The results showed that workload pressure and job burnout were the most severe organizational challenges and had significant relationships with weak motivation and shortages of specialized staff. In addition, inadequate professional training affected all dimensions under study. Examination of the proposed strategies revealed that employees’ professional development through learning programs, effective training, and strengthening growth pathways has a significant impact on improving service quality and job satisfaction. The study suggests that formulating human resource management policies based on a resource-based approach and organizational learning, strengthening transformational leadership, and designing an effective reward and motivation system are essential for hospitals to successfully overcome human resource crises.
