Summary/Abstract: This article examines the development of human resource management (HRM) in public administration, focusing on its organizational role and strategic development. It contrasts traditional HR functions with modern HRM and emphasizes its dynamic nature and strategic importance at higher organizational levels. The analysis highlights the impact of HRM on management tasks, in particular on the lifelong learning and professional development of civil servants. The study emphasizes the need to integrate internal and external strategies in order to increase the efficiency of public administration (PA). It looks at the impact of technological advances and changing working relationships, with skills such as foreign language skills, computer literacy, teamwork and motivation taking precedence over formal qualifications. This transition to a "knowledge society" emphasizes lifelong learning and the adaptation of skills. HRM uses various methods to assess employees' skills and align them with company goals. The article also examines how modern legislation reflects the evolving components of employment and necessitates new legal definitions that align with contemporary HRM trends. Finally, the authors discuss ways to further develop the Croatian HRM model, especially in PA, and propose a timeline for its possible improvement.
