Abstract: The aim of this research is to gain an understanding of human resources management practices and models in Morocco. To achieve this, we opted for a qualitative method of data collection by studying the case of 10 Moroccan organizations belonging to the public and private sectors. The collection of material from these case studies was based both on a documentary study of various internal reports and documents, and on semi-structured interviews with human resources managers. To facilitate processing of the documentary data and analysis of the thematic content of the responses, NVivo software was used. Our exploratory approach enabled us to understand the human resources management model of these organizations, and even to identify the main factors involved in human resources management decision-making: structure, strategy, and environment. Among the main findings of our empirical study is the existence of a hybrid model of human resources management, combining both an administrative and a strategic logic of human resources management. We also discovered the existence of a variety of human resources management practices, including technical practices considered indispensable, and practices for mobilizing and developing human capital. These various findings led us to conclude that human resources management in Moroccan organizations has undergone a major evolution and dynamism which is beginning to take off, thanks to a strategic approach to human resources management.
