Recruitment, selection, hiring and staff development in the panamanian public administration

Abstract

This article analyzes human capital management in the Panamanian public administration, seeking to explain the concepts of innovation and transparency in the processes of recruitment, selection, hiring and development of public administration personnel. Methodologically, the ex post facto approach was used in applied research that was based on the inductive method, applying hermeneutics to interpret information through document analysis. The results explore the importance of innovation and transparency in these processes and examine current practices in light of new trends and recommendations from various authors. As conclusions, the need to review current human talent management policies is highlighted, and particularly in relation to staffing, since public service depends largely on the quality and capacity of the people who comprise it, which is achieved by strengthening the culture of quality and ethics within public administration, to ensure efficiency, effectiveness and citizen satisfaction in the provision of services.
