Obstacles to Jordanian Educational Competencies Practicing Human Resources Management in the Era of Modern Technical and Digital Transformations

Abstract

This qualitative study aimed to identify the obstacles to the practice of human resources management by Jordanian educational competencies in the era of modern technical and digital transformations, from the perspective of faculty members. The researcher conducted interviews with 28 faculty members from Jordanian public and private universities. The results of these interviews showed that faculty members provided a set of proposals regarding the obstacles faced by Jordanian educational competencies in practicing human resources management in the era of modern technical and digital transformations. These proposals included the continuous efforts of Jordanian educational leaders to activate technical and digital methods compatible with their capabilities in public and private universities. They also emphasized the importance for educational leaders to activate digital platforms that enhance the efficiency of human resources in universities. Additionally, the proposals called for increasing financial allocations for human resources and technological techniques in all administrative and educational structures within universities. They also stressed the necessity of raising awareness among educational leaders about the importance of human resource management within the available digital capabilities in university settings, and for educational leaders to adopt modern positive trends related to human resources in the era of digitalization. The study recommended conducting further research related to human resource management in Jordanian universities in the era of modern technical and digital transformations and linking it to other variables.
