The study sought to evaluate record updating, space utilization, communication, recruitment, training, and employee engagement, with the goal of proposing enhancements to the PRIME HRM Manual. The researcher used a quantitative-correlational research design. Data was collected through a validated questionnaire distributed to 174 respondents, composed of teaching and non-teaching personnel across a one-state university’s four campuses. Purposive sampling focuses on regular employees with five or more years of service and regular interaction with HR. Findings revealed that office management practices regarding record updating, office space utilization, and communication were rated “highly effective.” HR services were also rated “highly satisfactory.” However, statistical analysis showed no significant relationship between these practices and the efficiency of HR office management in terms of operational efficiency, resource utilization, and communication effectiveness. It was concluded that although the HR office at the state university under study exhibits strong practices and services, these do not necessarily lead to significant improvements in HR efficiency. Thus, the study emphasizes the need for integrated, standardized systems and the consistent implementation of HR policies and procedures. The study recommends the development and adoption of a unified Office Management Manual that aligns with PRIME-HRM standards. Future research is encouraged to explore other internal and external factors that may influence HR management efficiency in multi-campus academic institutions.
