Abstract:

In an era of increasingly competitive business competition, the role of Human Resource Development (HRD) has undergone a transformation from an administrative function to a strategic partner in supporting organizational performance. This study aims to analyze the extent to which managers' perceptions of the strategic role of HRD influence the implementation of human resource policies and their impact on employee performance in Indonesian companies. Using a quantitative approach with a descriptive verification method, data were collected through a questionnaire to 60 HR managers and line managers from the industrial, service, and manufacturing sectors. The results of the linear regression analysis indicate that managers' positive perceptions of HRD are significantly correlated with their involvement in implementing the program, which has a positive impact on increasing employee productivity, efficiency, and job satisfaction. However, challenges are still felt in medium-scale companies, such as minimal managerial training and low HRD involvement in company strategy. This study emphasizes the importance of synergy between HRD and line managers in optimizing HR development functions to drive the company's competitive advantage.
