The diversity of employees in organizations has always aroused the interest of employers and specialists in human resource management. Interest in generational diversity has been gradually increasing since the turn of the 21st century. While many researchers support the concept of generation diversity, an increasing number of scientists question the validity of the idea that employees differ not only in age, but above all in values, approach to work or attitude to employer loyalty, have different motivational needs, and other competences. This article discusses the differences between individual, often appearing concepts: generation and cohort, intergenerational and multi-generational. Methodological challenges were also poin¬ted out when trying to thoroughly examine the differences between employees from different generations and between older and younger employees. The article also aims to verify the differences between generational diversity and employee diversity based on age. In addition, the article indicates the observation that the theoretical basis on the issue of generations, as well as previous empirical research, raise a lot of controversy and point to many substantive and research gaps, in contrast to the concept of employee diversity due to age.

The ways in which information technology has been used to support changes in the human resource function are discussed, leading to an exploration of the role of strategic human resource management portals. The content of strategic human resource management portals is then outlined, and covers the range of information they currently provide and their future role. Finally, issues relating to implementation are addressed. The need for human resource practitioners to develop a greater understanding of technology and its potential benefits is discussed. This article concludes by reiterating the uses made of strategic human resource portals and by acknowledging the need to continue to strive for improvements in the implementation of IT systems.

These days, employability and sustainability in the Romanian marketplace are seriously challenged by the general economic development conditions, the continuously rising living standards, and the unfortunate imbalance and irregularities in the policies of labor markets. These defining factors mirror in this current research that focuses on describing the importance, implications, and specificities of human resource management (HRM) and strategic human resource management in the 21st-century organizational landscape, while seeking to pinpoint the considerable and valuable benefits brought by human and intellectual capital as drivers for performance management at the organizational level. The results of the study themselves possess the explanatory power of showing that human resources are the main assets of the organization, which decisively determines the potential for present and future line of action, since human resources have unlimited growth and development potential, even though they are regarded as extremely rare, highly valuable, yet difficult to insure or replace.

The competency-based human resource management is a trend in the context of higher education reform in the 21st century. The quality of education is increasingly focused, and the improvement of the quality of educational managers and teaching staff becomes a goal in a university’s strategic plan. This leads to a necessary for universities to identify core competencies and build competency frameworks that are consistent with the institutions’ strategy to promote the implementation of innovation of all aspects of universities (Vakola, M., Soderquist, KE, Prastacos, GP, 2007). Depending on the socio-economic context and conditions of each institution, educational managers choose or combine paradigms of human resource management to enhance the efficiency in the development of quality of teaching staff, contributing to boosting universities’ capacity adapting for new requirements of education innovation. Based on the theory of human resource management, the paper analyzes the situation of human resource management, especially the development and training of teaching staff at two departments of 2 public universities in Ho Chi Minh City. Thereby, the paper proposes some suggestions for the implementation of human resource management based on competencies to improve the universities’  teaching quality and meet the requirements of fundamental and comprehensive innovation in the field of Viet Nam education and training in the 21st century.
