Abstract
This study uses Zijin Mining as a case study to apply the 3D-IDPT model from Information Resource Management (IRM) to analyze the influencing factors of human resource management (HRM). Zijin Mining is a prominent multinational mining group involved in the exploration and development of various metal resources, including copper, gold, zinc, and lithium. The company also engages in engineering design, technical research, smelting and processing, and trade finance services. By integrating its history, development trajectory, competitive strategy, and human resource management (HRM) approaches, the company has positioned itself as a key player in the global mining sector. This paper innovatively uses the 3D-IDPT model to evaluate internal HRM factors, such as employee composition, corporate culture, and human resource policies. The study also employs the STEEPLED model for a comprehensive analysis of the external environmental factors affecting Zijin Mining’s HRM and uses the SWOT model to predict the company’s future development. The findings suggest that Zijin Mining has gradually established a competitive advantage in the global mining industry through the optimization of its HRM system and strategic execution, driving the company’s green and low-carbon transformation.
