The study employs a qualitative, exploratory design using the grounded theory approach. Data were collected through 22 semi-structured interviews with human resource experts and senior officials from the Ministry of Health, selected via snowball sampling. MAXQDA 2020 software was used for coding and analysis. Findings reveal six core components influencing sustainable HRM in managerial transitions: sustainable recruitment and development, performance management, a culture of sustainability, succession planning, and challenges related to transparency and political interference. A paradigmatic model was developed based on these themes. The proposed model provides a structured framework for selecting and removing managers based on sustainability principles. It offers practical implications for health sector policymakers by promoting merit-based, transparent, and future-oriented HR practices that enhance organizational stability and service quality
