ABSTRACT
The study examined the challenges in Human Resource Management (HRM) implementation among organizations using a quantitative research approach. The primary objective was to identify and rank the major challenges affecting the effective implementation of HRM practices. Data were collected from 100 respondents selected through the convenience sampling technique using a structured questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including mean, standard deviation, and mean rank, along with the Friedman test to determine significant differences in respondents' perceptions. The findings revealed that resistance to organizational change was the most significant challenge, followed by limited financial and human resources, rapid technological changes, inadequate leadership commitment, and compliance with changing labor laws and regulations. The Friedman test indicated a statistically significant difference in the ranking of these challenges (χ² = 19.989, p = 0.001), suggesting that respondents perceived certain challenges as more critical than others. The study concludes that organizations should prioritize change management initiatives, allocate adequate resources, strengthen leadership commitment, and continuously adapt to technological and regulatory changes to enhance the successful implementation of HRM practices.
