Scope of Human Resources Management in Educational Leadership and Management in Institutions in Pakistan: Challenges and Remedial Measures

Abstract

    Human Resource Management is crucial to schools and other educational institutions because it provides qualified candidates for positions. Pakistani educational institutions face HRM concerns such as political involvement, culture, and inadequate resources. These obstacles prevent the integration of HRM practices and hinder their alignment with institutional strategic initiatives. This article discusses HRM methods in Pakistani educational organizations, significant concerns, and how they affect strategic direction. Interviews with educational leaders and structured survey questionnaires are used in the work. Poor staff involvement, outdated staff training, and opposition to innovative HRM approaches worsened by political influence and insufficient resources are internal risks. The report emphasizes the necessity for effective leadership development programs and ideal HRM models that follow international principles for local conditions. Innovation, personnel development, and policy changes to decrease political influence and funding are recommended.
