The Impact of Strategic Human Resources Planning on Developing the Quality of Higher Education Outputs: A Field Study in the College of Administration and Economics – University of Basra

الملخص

This study aims to investigate Strategic Human Resources Planning (SHRP) and quality of higher education outputs (QHEO) of the College of Administration and Economics of the University of Basra in Iraq. Using a quantitative technique, data were simulated from 150 respondents, comprising faculty and administrators. We used statistical description, correlation, multiple regression to check association between essential SHRP traits(recruitment, training, performance management, and compensation) and QHEO metrics (academic excellence, research productivity, and graduate competence). The results show SHRP positively affects QHEO with a significant positive correlation (r = 0.629, p < 0.001) and has a practically significant impact (R² = 0.396, p < 0.001).  According to the study, an effective SHRP can lead to improved education quality in the Iraqi higher education context making it beneficial for university administration and policymakers.
