Abstract

This study aims to identify and understand the concept of Human Resource Management (HRM) and its function in supporting organizational effectiveness. HRM plays a crucial role in managing individual potential to optimally contribute to achieving organizational goals. Using a quantitative approach, this study analyzes respondents' perceptions of key HRM dimensions, including planning, recruitment and selection, training and development, performance appraisal, and compensation. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive analysis techniques and simple linear regression to determine the influence of HRM functions on organizational effectiveness. The results indicate that all HRM functions have a positive and significant relationship with increased productivity and organizational performance. This finding confirms that effective human resource management is a strategic factor in maintaining organizational sustainability and competitiveness. This study is expected to enrich the HRM literature and serve as a reference for practitioners in designing professional, adaptive, and performance-oriented workforce management strategies.
