Abstract

This work aims to describe and analyze the articulation process of the performance and competence constructs in the implementation of strategic human resource management in a private foundation in Minas Gerais. The adopted research strategy had descriptive and qualitative nature and included a single case study, through semi-structured interviews with managers and staff professionals (directors, managers and advisers) and human resource management analysts. Moreover, documents were used as sources of important information. Key findings indicated that the logic of the human resources actions, notably those linked to performance and competence, suggest impact on human resources management policies and actions, being observed individual traits in the continuity of organizational actions.
