This study analysed the contribution of human resource management (HRM) to the processes of planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling (POAC) in improving teacher quality at SDIT Az Zahra Islamic elementary school in Tapin Regency, South Kalimantan Province of Indonesia. A qualitative case study approach was employed involving interviews with the school principal, foundation representatives, and teachers, as well as classroom observations and document analysis. The findings revealed SDIT Az Zahra implements the POAC framework effectively in its HRM practices. The planning stage involves needs assessment through surveys and performance data analysis.
