Human resource management in units of local and regional self-government with an overview of the payment system

Pojam ljudski potencijali govori nam o zaposlenima u različitim oblicima organizacija i poslovnih subjekata, kao i svim sposobnostima i vještinama kojima će doprinijeti uspješnom ostvarivanju ciljeva organizacije. Stoga upravljanje ljudskim potencijalima danas predstavlja važan faktor funkcioniranja lokalne i područne (regionalne) samouprave, jer bez kvalitetnih i obrazovanih zaposlenika sustav ne bi mogao funkcionirati. Njihova kreativnost, inovativnost, stručna osposobljenost, vještine, motiviranost, informiranost, osobine su koje ih čine drugačijim od ostalih resursa u upravnoj organizaciji. Razvojem kompetencija službenika osigurat će se da jedinice lokalne i područne (regionalne) samouprave imaju sposobne i kompetentne službenike. Upravljanje i razvoj ljudskih potencijala u lokalnoj samoupravi se razlikuje u odnosu na ljudske potencijale u privatnim poduzećima gdje se na zaposlenike gleda kao na alat konkurentnosti u ostvarivanju profita i interesa poduzeća. Stoga će se u radu ukazati na važnost ljudskih potencijala u lokalnoj i područnoj (regionalnoj) samoupravi kao temeljne pretpostavke za obavljanje složenih i odgovornih zadaća i poslova u jedinicama lokalne i područne (regionalne) samouprave. Pri izradi rada korišteni su podaci i informacije iz stručne literature, pravnih akata i s interneta te je koncipiran u nekoliko cjelina.The term "human resources" refers to employees in various organisations and business entities, as well as all of their abilities and skills that enable an organisation to successfully achieve its goals. Therefore, human resource management is an important factor in the successful functioning of local and regional self-government, as the system would not be able to function without high-quality and well-educated employees. Creativity, innovativeness, professional competence, skills, motivation, as well as being well-informed, are qualities that set human resources apart from other resources in an administrative organisation. Developing employees' competencies provides units of local and regional self-government with skilled and competent employees. Human resource management and development in local self-government differ from private companies where employees are mere tools for gaining profit and serving the companys interests. Therefore, this paper shall demonstrate the importance of human resources in local and regional self-government as the basis for performing complex and responsible tasks and jobs in units of local and regional self-government. The paper is divided into several sections, whereas the sources used include professional literature, legal documents, and the internet
