Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the practices of HR Planning, Training and Placement in the Ministry of Defense. To do so, descriptive survey method was used. Primary sources, such as the military members and civilians who have different job pOSitions in the sector were considered as first hand source. And secondary sources as books, reports prepared by Defense HRM department, manpower statistics, military occupational standards, unit manning documents, manuals and Defense proclamation were consulted. And, out of the four higher educational colleges, nine military training centers and colleges and one head office, one higher educational college, namely Defense Resource Management College (DRMC), one military training college that is Joint Military Staff College (JMSC) and the head office of the defense were randomly selected. The data collected from various sources by means of questionnaires, interview, group discussion and document review were presented, analyzed and interpreted using frequency counts, percentages, mean, standard deviation, grand mean and one-way ANOVA. The followings were the major finding: majority of the intent component of the sector, such as ends (goals and objectives) and means (strategy, mission and value) were established at the sector level and aligned with the unique needs of the ministry of Defense to build Defense personnel core competency. The result of the study also portrayed that the efforts that have been made to create the enabling environment through developing the ends and means of the sector was not endorsed by clearly defined Human Resource Management system and effective practices. The work and workforce analysis were not developed, because the organizational design, job design, organizatiunal structure and job analysis approach were not logically and SCientifically established in line with the unique nature of the defense. The forecasting analysis approach and method were not holistic and integrated to generate required information on time and quality. Lack of identifying man power gap and develop realistic HR action plan to fill the gap, the training and development activities were not conducted based on need assessment. The employee placement practices were not conducted in a manner of matching the employee competency with job requirement. Therefore, the following recommendations are forwarded; MOD should deSign, develop and implement HRM system and work and workforce structure.
