Understanding the determinants of hybrid human resource management in private higher education institutions in Indonesia

Resumen

Formulating a suitable human resource management (HRM) model is necessary to encourage the quality of private universities to be higher in the national and global rankings. This study examines the influence of HRM philosophy, organizational culture, paternalistic leadership, and diuwongke on hybrid HRM. This research distributed questionnaires involving 173 study programs at private universities in Indonesia. Partial least square structural equation modeling reveals that accumulation is the appropriate philosophy for improving hybrid HRM. The appropriate culture is innovation-oriented. Furthermore, paternalistic leadership affects hybrid HRM directly and indirectly through diuwongke. This study formulates a model that facilitates the interests of entrepreneurs and employees in private universities, built by intensive human resource development through accumulation philosophy, innovation-oriented culture, paternalistic leadership, and diuwongke. This study confirms that local characteristics are necessary to establish good hybrid HRM practices. Further research is needed to confirm this model in Western countries.
