Human Resource Management and Its Role in Improving Quality of Education in Aided Colleges

Abstract

Human Resource Management (HRM) is increasingly recognized as a strategic mechanism for improving institutional performance by developing, supporting, and retaining human capital. In higher education, the “quality of education” is strongly influenced by the competence, motivation, and commitment of teaching staff, as well as the institutional systems that enable effective teaching–learning processes. Aided colleges in India function within a mixed governance structure where government funding support is combined with management-led administration. This unique structure often creates operational constraints, making structured HRM practices essential for ensuring consistent educational quality.
