Determining Factors

The question of change in the organization is at the heart of the concerns of public policy managers. This article proposes to analyze the management of organizations in the educational system in Gabon. We have examined what is said and what is best done in the field in an attempt to identify this consideration by the theorists of change. As pointed out by several authors, particularly those who have investigated this issue, change is a stakeholder in the management of organizations. At the end of this literature review, we found that Gabon is not the only country to be confronted with the problem of change management in its education system. In conducting an education reform, it must take into account the balance of power within the organization. In order for the organization to achieve its goal, communication must become a permanent feature of human resources management. Thus, changing the education system is a titanic but achievable undertaking. The competence of the managers, the piloting mode and the management of human resources are determining factors in the process of change.

The development and strengthening of employees’ vocational identity are critical issues in organizations. The absence of professional selfawareness could negatively affect the emotional status of individuals. Moreover, such a condition can lead to a worsening of organizational performance. For this reason, studying the connections between human resources management and identity development is essential. Data and method. This exploratory study performs a systematic literature review starting from SCOPUS and EBSCO Host databases to understand how literature debates these connections. Results. The majority of extracted articles belong to the following fields: human resources management, psychology, and organizational studies. The connections between these three fields represent a clear theoretical framework for understanding how literature debates professional identity development in organizations. The theories considered in the extracted articles are numerous, but the social identity theory and the social categorization theory are the most cited by the authors. Four main themes emerge from the content analysis: motivation, satisfaction, and well-being of employees; the “crisis” status of human resource management; professional identity development in the workplace; the career adaptation of individuals. Conclusions. This study allows confirming how the development of professional identity is critical in organizations. Although the literature shows a considerable interest in vocational identity and human resources management, this study reflects on the possibility of producing further in-depth examinations concerning the connections between these topics. Further studies should explore vocational identity development through a renovated strategic role of human resources management, no more limited to a bureaucratic partner.

The concept of generation is examined in many sciences such as sociology, philosophy, pedagogy, anthropology, biology, history, management, etc. Generation as a construct is intricate, and researchers from various fields have tried to define this extraordinary phenomenon. The aging population representatives of different generations live longer, so the differences between generations are becoming increasingly noticeable. This article examines the concept of generation, analyses the main theories of generations and presents a theoretical approach to a generational expression in an organization. The aim of the research is to reveal a theoretical approach to the expression of different generations in an organization, i.e. to analyse studies related to the expression of different generations in an organization and to identify the main research fields related to the subject. The primary method used in the article is a systematic literature review (SLR). The systematic literature review (SLR) disclosed that although the topic of expression of different generations in an organization is relevant among the human resources management (HRM) specialists-practitioners, nevertheless, there is a lack of high-level publications in Europe containing empirical research on this subject, i.e. there is a lack of a systematic scientific approach to this topic, and therefore, this area is under-researched.
