Thus, human resources management is the bedrock of all management activities in any formal work setting. In the bid to achieve organizational goals, there is need to manage the human resources with established knowledge which scientifically related methods yield.

Secondary data were garnered to elicit information for the analysis of the paper which presents relevant theories of industrial organizations and critically analysed them so as to acquaint us with the knowledge and effectiveness of the theories. This is essentially a metatheoretical schema for theories adopted in the motivation of human resources in order to attain deeper understanding of theories of human resources management.

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.

The major objective lying behind the conduction of the present work lies in investigating the social advantages likely to be brought about by the venture capitalist to the funded firm. More specially, it treats the venturer’s financial contribution as based on a number of human resources management related practices. Overall, the reached results, relevant to a sample involving 150 companies proved to indicate that the financial participation of this mode of financial intermediation turns out to be partially associated with a social contribution. In effect, it has been discovered that a number of the advanced practices, suggested as social contribution relating measures, do not prove to stand as part of the changes targeted by the venture capitalist to take place in a bid to enhance the firm’s social performance, nor were they intended to further improve the added values already achieved. Actually, such a strategy could well reflect some special features characterize the Tunisian venture capital mode of financing.
