The Development of Human Resources Capacity of Legal Entity State University

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Indonesia is a country that has the most universities in Southeast Asia. However, its excellent and competitive universities in Asia and the World are still limited. Indonesian government strives to produce high-quality universities by forming legal entity state universities. To be an excellent and competitive university at the regional and global levels becomes the vision of every university. A strong competitive advantage of a university in the long term occurs, when the university can produce more competent people than is needed. The realization of the goals is determined by the success of developing the capacity of HR (Human Resources). Ranking and accreditation are instruments to measure the adequacy of the quality and quantity of human resource capacity in university management. This article is conducted based on the results of a survey of 11 legal entity state universities. The results demonstrate that the competitive advantage of the legal entity state university is based on the success of developing competitive and excellent human resource capacity. Human resource capacity development is performed at the system, institutional, and individual levels based on autonomy in academic and non-academic management. In maintaining the excellence of human resources, two pillars have been reinforced, namely: the mind-set of the HR as an organizational asset and the application of the merit system principle.
