Multiversity Environment of a Higher Education Institution Towards Human Resource 5.0

Abstract

This research focused on the multiversity environment within a higher education institution. As a result, the University aimed to transition from a traditional university to a multiversity, with particular emphasis on the HR department in this study.  This study aimed to assess the Human Resource Development of a higher academic institution in the City of Dasmariñas in its transition toward HR 5.0 within a multiversity setting. It specifically examined key HR competency areas, including human-centric approaches, sustainability, and resilience, alongside multiversity requirements – profession and research -and HR 5.0 metrics for the non-teaching personnel of a higher academic institution at the City of Dasmariñas. The respondents of this study were thirty (30) non-teaching personnel of the higher academic institution representing the following departments: Human Resource Development, Accounting Treasury, Accounting, Internal Audit, Information Communication and Technology, Registrar, University Academic Extension, Guidance and Counselling, Health Servies and academic secretaries and support staff from the college and basic education units. The researcher developed a self-made questionnaire to address the following aspects: (a) the extent to which IR 5.0 HR competency cores were planned versus demonstrated; (b) the degree to which IR 5.0 multiversity indicators aligned with planned versus actual multiversity requirements; (c) the impact of moderating variables on service orientation and execution, talent management, HR governance, analytics and measurement, and HR service delivery; and (d) the influence of the multiversity environment on HR 5.0 in terms of human-centric, sustainable, and resilient practices, with non-teaching personnel of of a higher academic institution as respondents. The following statistical tests were utilized: Paired t-test for statement of the problems 1 and 2; ANOVA by factors for statement of the problem 3; and regression analysis for statement of the problem 4. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences v. 28 software was used to analyze the data.  The study's findings indicate that the University's HR operations remain considerably below the standards required for a Multiversity HR level. The hypothesis testing revealed no significant achievement in meeting the established Multiversity requirements. It is recommended that the Human Resource Development of a higher academic institution establish HR policies that must adopt innovative strategies, leverage technology, and foster a diverse, inclusive, and interconnected academic environment that aligns with the University's strategic vision of becoming Digital, Borderless, and a Multiversity.
