Human resource slack is one of the terms that has recently entered the human resources management literature. Human resources slack refer to more resources than the organization needs. This study aims to identify the types of stagnant human resources and provide a model of human resource management functions appropriate for each type of stagnant employees. The present research is qualitative and fundamental in terms of systematic method and content analysis. For this purpose, systematic search was limited to two databases, including Scopus (Elsevier) and the Scientific Network Information Science Institute (Thomson Reuters), to identify and extract articles. After reviewing the articles, the model was presented. The CASP standard checklist was used to assess the validity of the research and in order to assess the reliability of the research, the Kappa Cohen index in SPSS software was used, which was approved. After presenting the model, using semi-structured interviews with academic and industrial experts and conducting content analysis of human resource management functions such as training, development, rewarding and Service compensation, and performance control and evaluation, for each type of employee slack. The model presented, citing articles, introduces four types of human resources slack by considering two dimensions of strategic value and competence; Surplus-oriented, Accumulated-oriented, Knowledge-oriented and Value-oriented. The proposed model and the proposed functions for each type of employee slack can be the basis for future researchers' research.
