Abstract: Abstract The aim of this publication is to diagnose problems related to human resource management in regional nongovernmental organizations and to identify their hierarchy. The research was carried out on a group of 13 regional nongovernmental organizations active on the tourism market, which were selected from a population of 64 entities in north-eastern Poland. The research applied the survey method where three layers of human resources were examined, i.e. employees, members of the organizations and volunteers. After a hierarchy of the indicated problems had been identified, it was demonstrated that the greatest problems included: the low activity of members of the organizations and a shortage of time for matters related to the activities of the organizations (62 % of respondents complained about it). The annoying factors also included the poor involvement of volunteers (46 %), members (39 %) and employees (31 %). The results indicate that regional NGOs have to cope with different problems related to human resource management; therefore, this problem should be explored on an in-depth basis and guidance should be developed for these organizations. First of all, the results of the research and the recommendations made in the article should be used in practice by persons who manage regional nongovernmental organizations.
