The human resource between educational management and school pragmatism

Abstract The school, seen as an organization, is a true barometer for society.Thus, starting from the idea that the development and growth of a school organization must materialize in the same way as an investment over a given period of time, we believe that its performance is also given by the cost of the human resource involved in such a process. The vision on the idea of school organization, as well as on the idea of quality, implies in these conditions a systematic analysis, but also its critique, taking into account what the specialized literature calls “the human resources management”. The purpose of our work is to see if and how such an investment in human resources is possible, but also what such an investment stands for. We take into account the fact that the employees of a school organization represent a good part of its costs. Under these conditions, a manager who deals with human resources in the school must know how to manage an entire process of training his or her own employees, who are the true professionals. When we state such an assumption, we have in mind the employees from all the departments of the school organization.
