Abstract
In today's rapidly changing world, organizations need strategies that, in addition to flexibility, strengthen employees' self-leadership capabilities to adapt to changes and new technologies. The aim of the current study is to examine human resource development through self-leadership. The research method is qualitative with a thematic analysis strategy. The statistical sample is 14 experts in the field of human resource management from public universities and educational centers in Tehran province with theoretical knowledge of the subject and with executive backgrounds and practical human resource management experience, who were selected using a purposive snowball sampling method. The criterion for ensuring the adequacy of the statistical sample size is theoretical saturation. The data collection tool is a semi-structured interview. The data analysis method is based on thematic analysis through three stages of conceptualization, sub-categorization, and main categorization. Based on the findings, adopting a self-leadership approach with four main themes including personal training and development, career development, development of positive personal behaviors, and organizational development plays a role in human resource development at both individual and organizational levels. To ensure the continuity and continuity of the role of employees' self-leadership, a fifth theme titled systemic and organizational support for self-leadership strategies was identified. The findings indicate that a self-leadership approach focusing on individual and organizational development provides an effective roadmap for human resource development in an era of rapid change. However, the continued success of this strategy requires comprehensive support and backing from organizational systems.
