*CFP* "THE ROLE OF INTERNAL COMMUNICATION IN PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND THE COMPETITIVENESS OF HUMAN CAPITAL OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS", 2ND INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM

“The role of internal communication in performance management and the competitiveness of human capital of public and private organizations”

2nd International Symposium

16-18 December 2019

Ibn Zohr University, Agadir, Morocco

Neglected, underestimated or non-existent in most public and private organizations, internal communication is one of the key factors in performance management and the competitiveness of the human capital of public and private organizations. One of the tasks of internal communication is to render the organization's strategy meaningful and to allow each employee to go beyond the individual logic in order to achieve group logic.

Internal communication is also one of the hallmarks of the performance and competitiveness of the organization's human capital, which means that it has a direct impact on the organization's results through employee attitudes and behaviors and collaborators. The added value of internal communication is more important when the manager adopts a management mode centered on the human capital of the organization. 

Internal communication stems from the organization's strategy and is the result of its organizational culture. It is never the cause of the dysfunctions of the organization or its management, but it is its symptomt. Internal communication is a central process, a constitutive function of management.

In the continuity of the previous edition realized in 2017, this 2nd international conference on "the place of internal communication in the management of the performance and the competitiveness of the human capital of the public and private organizations" is a noteworthy platform for a responsible exchange between research and experience, researchers and practitioners of internal communication as well as human capital management of public and private organizations. It is also within the spirit of research and development in addition to disciplinary and interdisciplinary structuring.

The conference opens the debate on a multidimensional and multidisciplinary question, namely: "how to rethink the practices of internal communication in the management of the performance and the competitiveness of the human capital of public and private organizations". We also hope through this symposium to understand the relationship between internal communication and the management of human capital competitiveness of public and private organizations in order to maintain a competitive advantage in a context of organizational change in public and private organizations.

• Internal communication and the social climate of the organization
