This master’s thesis examines sustainable human resource management (SHRM) as a modern and holistic approach to employee management that goes beyond traditional models focused mainly on efficiency and administration. In the public sector—particularly in the field of culture—it is increasingly evident that conventional HR practices are no longer sufficient to address challenges such as high staff turnover, limited opportunities for development and knowledge transfer, and a lack of intrinsic motivation. Using the case study of the International Centre of Graphic Arts (MGLC), the research explores how SHRM affects employee satisfaction, commitment, and long-term organizational stability.
The study employs both qualitative and quantitative methods (document analysis, employee survey, and an interview with management). Based on the analysis of the current situation and key theoretical frameworks (the ROC model and self-determination theory), the author proposes a sustainable HR strategy with measures addressing respect, openness, and continuity, tailored to the institution’s actual capacities. The strategy includes a phased implementation plan and suggested indicators for monitoring impact.
The thesis contributes to the renewal of MGLC’s HR policy and to a broader understanding of SHRM in the Slovenian public sector, with a strong emphasis on ethical and inclusive leadership as a key to long-term organizational success.
