Abstract

This article offers a theoretical analysis of the transformations needed in human resources management within the framework of the implementation of Territorial Health Groups (GST) in Morocco. Adopting an exploratory and reflexive approach, the study draws on an integrative review of interdisciplinary literature. Drawing on public management, organizational theory, and strategic human resource management, it highlights organizational challenges, managerial issues, and the conditions for a sustainable and performance-driven territorial health reform. Based on a literature review, the analysis identifies key HRM levers: integrated management, competency-based approaches, renewed evaluation systems, and the articulation between individual and collective performance. The article proposes a theoretical HRM model that integrates competency management, performance, and ethical governance, and offers recommendations for anticipatory reform. It calls for future empirical research to support the implementation of GSTs.
