<![CDATA[This study examines human resource management (HRM) in primary schools implementing inclusive education in Palu City, Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach with multi-site design, the research investigates seven HRM functions based on Gary Dessler's framework: planning, recruitment and selection, training and development, performance appraisal, compensation, employee relations, and occupational safety and health. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation studies involving nine key informants from the Palu City Education Office and four inclusive primary schools. The findings reveal that HRM implementation remains suboptimal across all seven dimensions, characterized by reactive planning without comprehensive data, dualistic recruitment systems between public and private schools, varied training models, performance appraisal lacking inclusive indicators, distributive injustice in compensation, multi-layered collaborative employee relations, and high job demands coupled with compassion satisfaction as a motivational buffer. This study contributes a theoretical novelty in the form of the Public Administration-Based Inclusive Education HRM Model, which integrates Dessler's seven HRM functions into the analysis of inclusive education as regional public policy.]]>
