STRATEGIES FOR MANAGING CHANGE IN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN INDONESIAN HIGHER EDUCATION: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW (SLR)

Abstract

Managing change in human resource management (HRM) is a crucial aspect for the sustainability and
advancement of institutions, particularly in educational settings such as universities. This study aims to reveal
effective strategies for managing change within such environments, focusing on a case study of developments in
a higher education institution. In this dynamic era, understanding and applying appropriate strategies is key to
ensuring successful adaptation and innovation amidst ongoing changes. HRM is a primary pillar in maintaining an
organization's continuity and progress. Amidst the constant flux of change, strategic HRM becomes increasingly
important, serving not only as a guide but also as a foundation that enables organizations to adapt, grow, and
succeed in an ever-changing environment. This research offers valuable insights into HRM strategies by deeply
understanding how organizations manage their human resources, both in specific contexts like universities and in
broader scopes. By identifying successful patterns, potential obstacles, and opportunities for innovation (Wang,
Z., Xu, H., & Song, M., 2021), this study provides essential knowledge. Case studies, such as the one detailed in
this article, offer concrete insights. By examining specific development cases in universities, we learn about
strategic steps such as organizational restructuring, employee development, effective communication, and active
stakeholder engagement, each significantly impacting organizational well-being. Therefore, this research aims to
explore how these strategies are understood, adopted, and adjusted within the context of universities. It is hoped
that a profound understanding of HRM strategies will contribute positively to sustainable and innovative managerial
practices in the future. The study employs a systematic and comprehensive literature review approach using the
SCOPUS database, considered credible and internationally indexed, to identify research trends and developments
in HRM strategies. This methodology ensures an objective, transparent, and replicable analysis, providing a rich
and beneficial contribution to the field of strategic HRM in higher education.
