A Reflection on Foresight in Human Resource Provision in the Judiciary
Keywords:
Judiciary, Future Studies, Human Resources, New technologies, organizational cultureAbstract
In today’s rapidly evolving era, futures studies offer a structured opportunity for examining transformations and envisioning a desirable outlook for policymakers, particularly in labor-intensive organizations. Accordingly, this article aims to present a reasoned discussion on rethinking a foresight model in the domain of human resource provision and its requirements within the Judiciary. To this end, the research method was qualitative, employing the Delphi method based on the STEEP model. Data were collected through fieldwork using in-depth semi-structured interviews and a researcher-made questionnaire. A purposive sampling approach was used, and data saturation was achieved after 25 interviews. Based on the research findings—utilizing the fuzzy Delphi technique—the dimensions, components, and indicators of the proposed foresight model for the human resources and capital chain in the Judiciary reflect key parameters (actions and interactions) in political, social, cultural, economic, and technological domains. However, each of these factors, throughout its evolutionary path, will be influenced by information technology innovations, including the expansion of electronic environments and systems thinking approaches, in response to the time- and location-specific conditions of society (constant changes). The results indicate that the final model enjoys acceptable validity and, in addition to enhancing adaptability capacity and efficiency, entails the development of an effective and up-to-date electronic communication infrastructure, deepening organizational culture, and more.
