Revista Vasca de Gestión de Personas y Organizaciones Públicas

Aims & Scope

The Basque Journal of People and Public Organizations’ Management (Print ISSN: 2173-6405; Online ISSN: 2531-2103), began in 2011 with the aim of filling an editorial gap in the field of human resource management, organizational management and continuous improvement. Therefore, its primary goal is to be a means of expression to feature research, proposals, experiences and papers that can provide ideas to improve the performance of public organizations and the people who work in them on subjects specific to the disciplines of the social sciences, such as psychology, law, political science, economics or sociology. In this new stage, we intend to strengthen and expand our areas of research and debate. Among the main novelties is the incorporation of work and organizational psychology as a specific and significant field of content, research and innovation. This approach will explore and explain how psychological principles positively impact well-being, performance and work dynamics, especially in the field of public administrations. In addition, we will prioritize organizational design as a key to addressing the challenges of public administrations in the next decade. This includes the search for models that promote effectiveness, efficiency, inclusion and innovation, always from the perspective of managing the difference in human resources in times of generational change, automation, artificial intelligence and complexity. We firmly believe that managing the different ways of doing things is not only an ethical imperative, but also an essential strategy for building public organizations capable of responding effectively to the demands and needs of citizens. Legal support will be an essential pillar of this stage. The intersection between Administrative Procedure, Civil Service, Labour and Equality laws will underpin our reflections, ensuring that proposals and analyses are developed with the necessary rigour and legal certainty. We will maintain our biannual periodicity and peer review system, to guarantee the quality and relevance of the content. We will alternate empirical articles with rigorous syntheses and innovative proposals. In addition, we want to give visibility to good practices that, often from silence, drive the progress of public administrations. With this renewed focus, we reaffirm our commitment to being a plural forum, open to the exchange of ideas between academics, practitioners and public officials. We aim for this magazine to continue to be an essential meeting point for debate and the construction of more humane, effective and innovative public organizations.
