A Gap Analysis for Southern Luzon State University: A Basis for a Human Resource Action Plan

Abstract

This study sought to standardize the job description and to suggest strategies to address the identified gap between the existing inventory and the human resource requirement of Southern Luzon State University for the teaching and non-teaching personnel. The descriptive types of research were adopted and secondary data were utilized. A total population of 527 (335 teaching personnel and 192 non-teaching personnel) are the respondents. Based on the data gathered, it was revealed that there is one job description for all teaching positions regardless of its item position. For non-teaching, sixteen positions have an existing job description while the remaining six positions have no job description. Consequently, a mismatch takes place between the job description and actual job performed by the SLSU personnel. Human resource inventory and requirements as per Medium Term Development Plan (2016-2020) were analysed and it shows that the university has a gap in its target. Thus, a standardized job description for each job position and an action plan were developed.
