The extend of HRM roles towards the
improvement of teaching quality of
LIA teachers Based on teachers’ perception, Human Resource Management
HRM roles in LBPP LIA which carried out by HRD gave improvement to teachers’ teaching quality, in the case of salary,
incentive, bonus, insurance, facilities, training program, and work environment.
a. Teacher Competence
LBPP LIA has 23 teachers which consist of 9 full-timers and 14 part- timers. All the teachers of LBPP LIA are S1 graduate. They are not required to be
graduated from Teacher Training and Education Faculty, because the qualification is purely about the ability of English skills. From 23 teachers in LBPP LIA, 15 are
graduated from English Program of Teacher Training and Education Faculty, the rest are from Literature, Technique, and HI Faculty.
LBPP LIA is not promiscuously in choosing their teacher. The teachers have to fulfill the requirement of teachers’ qualification, namely: 1 At least
diploma 3 graduation, 2 Diploma 3 graduation for English program, and undergraduate graduation for all programs, 3 At least 500 of TOEFL score, 4
Being able to present materials, and 5 Can pass LIA qualification standard. Based on the teachers’ qualification, LBPP LIA teachers must have good
competence both in teaching and English mastery. Every year, all teachers of LBPP LIA have to refresh their TOEFL, by
following TOEFL test which is conducted by the institution. The result of TOEFL must be improved. If the result is static or decrease, the institution will analyze
and indicate the problem faced by the teacher. Therefore, based on the problem analysis, the institution can give appropriate action to solve the problem.
The manager of HRD said that if there is a teacher who has not fulfilled the expected qualification of teacher in LBPP LIA, although he has worked for
some years, he has to receive the consequence from the institution. The consequences are: 1 The teacher will not get a salary rise, 2 The teacher just
can teach in easy level class, 3 If the performance getting worse, the teacher must follow training program again. If he fails, he cannot continue his work as
teacher in LBPP LIA. From the previous explanation, it can be seen that LBPP LIA used to
maintain its quality of teachers. The teachers of LBPP LIA said that if their performance does not improve, it becomes such self-evaluation to their selves.
The consequences which are given by the institution become big motivation for them to improve their English competence and skill.
