Managerial theory shows that the human factor remains the most powerful and wealth-generating factor in business. In this respect, Barney (1995) notes that "human resources enable the development of a competitive advantage because they contribute to the creation of company-specific skills, rooted in the company's culture and history, which are the foundation of rare and inimitable tacit (legitimate) knowledge. Over the last few decades, human resources management has undergone enormous reforms in terms of the relevance of the human factor and its excellence in career development, and a number of research studies have begun to insist on the primordiality of career management in human resources development. Career management is a mutual process which aims, through training, mentoring, promotion, mobility, temporary transfer or the creation of special projects, to prepare an employee for the future needs of the organization, while taking into account his or her strengths and interests.
