Abstract

This study focused on assessing the strategic influence of Human Resource (HR) practices on administrative efficiency in STRAIVE Company located in Parañaque City using the AMO Theory, which stands for Ability, Motivation, and Opportunity. The study aimed to determine how HR practices affect employees’ performance in terms of time management, accuracy of work, and communication skills. It also examined the relationship between HR practices and administrative efficiency among employees.

The researchers used a quantitative research design and gathered data through survey questionnaires from administrative employees of STRAIVE Company. The study considered the demographic profile of the respondents, including age, gender, educational attainment, and length of service. The AMO Theory served as the main framework in analyzing how employee ability, motivation, and opportunity contribute to better work performance and efficiency.

The findings of the study showed that effective HR practices play an important role in improving administrative efficiency. Employees perform better when they are provided with proper training, motivation, rewards, and opportunities to participate in the organization. The study also found that ability, motivation, and opportunity are all important factors that help employees become more productive and efficient in their tasks.

Overall, the study concluded that strategic HR practices based on the AMO Theory can positively influence administrative efficiency in STRAIVE Company. The researchers recommend that organizations continue improving their HR practices to enhance employee performance, productivity, and workplace effectiveness
