Learning Needs Assessment (LNA): Basis for BARMM Employees on Job Performance

This study examines the learning needs assessment (LNA) as a basis for evaluating the job performance of employees in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), specifically those from its Ministries, Offices, and Agencies. It aims to determine the level of professional development needs, assess job performance, and analyze the significant relationship between these two factors. Additionally, the study explores key challenges faced by BARMM employees, including mental stress, loss of loyalty, increased turnover, and life changes resulting from the creation of new government structures. Based on the findings, an intervention plan is proposed to enhance BARMM’s professional development programs. A descriptive-correlational research design was employed to ensure comprehensive data collection. The study surveyed 383 respondents utilized convenience random sampling with proportional allocation. The research instrument centered on Human Resource Management Development (HRMD) training and seminars. Findings indicate that BARMM employees have a high need for professional development, while they strongly agree that their job performance meets satisfaction levels.
