The Impact of Organizational Foresight on Strategic HRM in the Ministry of Interior UAE: The Mediating Effect of Job Analysis

Abstract

This review examines the influence of organizational foresight on strategic human resource management (SHRM) within the Ministry of Interior in the United Arab Emirates, with particular attention to the mediating function of future job analysis. Organizational foresight, understood as the capacity to anticipate forthcoming challenges and opportunities, is increasingly acknowledged as a crucial element for effective management in the public sector. Within the Ministry of Interior, integrating foresight with SHRM practices is pivotal for cultivating a workforce capable of adapting to future demands. The study emphasises the role of job analysis as a mediator that converts insights derived from foresight into practical human resource interventions, encompassing workforce planning, talent development, and competency enhancement. Methodologically, the paper employs a structured literature review, systematically examining existing empirical and theoretical studies to delineate the conceptual relationships between organizational foresight, future job analysis, and SHRM in the context of public administration. Through this comprehensive analysis, the study highlights the strategic importance of combining foresight with systematic future job analysis to improve human resource management outcomes. The findings provide actionable guidance for public sector institutions aiming to strengthen organisational adaptability and performance via proactive human resource strategies.
