HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT TOWARDS IMPROVING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGs) IN PANGANDARAN CITY

Abstract

This study examines the influence of human resource management (HRM) on improving the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Pangandaran City, West Java. The quality of human resource management of local government officials is a determining factor in accelerating the achievement of sustainable development goals, considering that the SDGs encompass social, economic, and environmental dimensions that require adequate human resource competencies. This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach with a survey method of 120 state civil servants (ASN) within the Pangandaran City Government. Data collection techniques were carried out through questionnaires, observation, and documentation.Data analysis used multiple linear regression with instrument validity and reliability tests. The results show that the variables of human resource planning, competency development, performance assessment, and compensation simultaneously have a significant effect on improving SDGs in Pangandaran City with a coefficient of determination of 74.3%. Partially, competency development is the most dominant variable influencing the achievement of SDGs. This study recommends strengthening the merit system, accelerating competency-based training, and improving cross-sector coordination in the implementation of SDGs programs in Pangandaran City.
