Employers’ Perception on Demonstration of Graduates’ Program Outcomes

Program outcomes in Human Resource Management (HRM) are defined as the specific learning goals and objectives that students are expected to achieve upon completing an HRM program. This study, "Employers’ Perception on Demonstration of Graduates~ Program Outcomes," evaluated the perception of employers regarding the demonstration of program outcomes by TCGC BSBA-HRM graduates, as defined by the Institute of Business and Financial Services (IBFS). It specifically aimed to assess employers’ perceptions of the graduates’ level of demonstration of program outcomes, identify the outcomes least demonstrated by the graduates in business establishments, and determine employer-suggested enhancements to improve the quality of instruction in the BSBA-HRM program. Findings revealed that employers strongly agree that graduates demonstrate most BSBA-HRM program outcomes effectively, particularly in areas such as collaboration and conflict resolution. However, graduates were perceived to least demonstrate proficiency in innovative thinking and business development. The qualitative phase unveiled several suggestions highlighting the necessity for curriculum enhancements that emphasize instructional quality, labor law education, and behavioral studies. The study concluded that while graduates excelled in key program outcomes such as collaboration and conflict resolution, there is a significant need to focus on developing their skills in innovation, business idea generation, and adaptability to industry trends. The findings suggest that strengthening these areas through targeted curriculum improvements and incorporating practical applications, particularly in labor laws and human behavior, would better prepare graduates to meet the dynamic demands of the workplace.
