This study examines the effectiveness of human resource management (HRM) practices in improving the performance of education office staff in Sari. Through a survey-based approach, data was collected from 120 teachers and managers selected via simple random sampling. The study focuses on HRM practices related to recruitment and selection, training and development, performance evaluation, and the adoption of new management techniques. Findings indicate that effective recruitment and selection processes, well-designed training programs, objective performance evaluation systems, and the strategic use of new management techniques positively influence employee effectiveness. However, challenges such as the need for leadership development and ongoing evaluation of management practices were identified. Overall, the study underscores the critical role of HRM practices in enhancing workforce effectiveness and organizational performance in the education sector. These findings provide valuable insights for HR professionals and organizational leaders seeking to optimize HRM strategies and drive sustainable performance improvement in educational settings.
