Résumé
Les transformations rapides qui caractérisent le monde du travail amènent une redéfinition des compétences nécessaires au succès des organisations. Ce contexte créé un écart entre les compétences que possèdent les employés et celles jugées essentielles aux besoins actuels et futurs. Afin de remédier à cette situation, les organisations revoient leurs processus de gestion des ressources humaines et adoptent de plus en plus des systèmes de gestion de la performance orientés vers le développement des employés. Ce travail explore cette approche, tout en examinant les rôles et compétences que les principales parties prenantes concernées, soit les professionnels en ressources humaines, les gestionnaires et les employés, doivent adopter afin de soutenir efficacement cette façon alternative de gérer la performance au travail. De plus, nous explorons aussi les obstacles à l’implantation et comment cette forme de gestion de la performance peut être mise en oeuvre par les gestionnaires. Sur le plan théorique, l’étude enrichit notre compréhension du rôle ainsi que les compétences spécifiques que chaque acteur doit posséder dans un contexte de gestion de la performance orienté vers le développement. Sur le plan pratique, notre étude donne des pistes pour assurer une implantation réussie en entreprise.

Abstract
The rapid transformations that characterize the world of work are leading to a redefinition of the skills required for organizational success. This context creates a gap between the skills employees possess and those deemed essential for current and future needs. To address this situation, organizations are reviewing their human resource management processes and are increasingly adopting performance management systems geared towards employee development. This article explores this approach, while examining the roles and skills that key stakeholders (human resource professionals, managers and employees) must adopt to effectively support this alternative way of managing performance in the workplace. Furthermore, we also explore the obstacles to implementation and how this form of performance management can be implemented by managers. Theoretically, the study enhances our understanding of the role and specific skills that each stakeholder must possess in a development-oriented performance management context. Practically, our study provides guidance for ensuring successful implementation within organizations.
