Abstract
The centers for development of the eight planning regions have been established under the Law on Balanced Regional Development which was adopted in 2007 with the main goal to strengthen the capacity of networks and stimulating the development on regional level. In order to achieve effective and efficient operation of the centers, the management of human resources in these organizations becomes a matter of high priority because human resources are the agents of the important developmental activities in the region. This paper explores human resource management policies and practices that are adopted in the centers aiming to improve the capacity and competences of the employees, and enable them to perform effectively. Using qualitative research strategy, inductive content analysis of the documents was apply, and also, a semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight executive directors who represent and manage the centers. Research results reveal the need for improvement in the way that human resources are managed and lack of appropriate financial support from local and national authorities and institutions. Also, the findings point to the need of increasing the number of employees in the centers, considering the scope of work and the real opportunities to apply for more developmental projects that are financially supported by the EU pre-accession funds as well as available funds of other foreign and international organizations and donors.
