This study investigated the impact of human resource management (HRM) strategies on the implementation of Physical Education Programs (PEPs) in selected universities within Guizhou Province, China. Employing a descriptive-correlational research design, data were gathered through self-made questionnaires assessing the implementation of HRM practices and PEPs. The study involved 310 physical education teachers from Guizhou Medical University, Guizhou University, and Guizhou Normal University. Findings revealed moderate to high levels of HRM implementation across various aspects, with room for improvement in employee satisfaction and compensation. Similarly, PEP implementation demonstrated moderate levels across key areas, suggesting opportunities for enhancement. Significant correlations were observed between certain HRM practices, such as performance evaluation, and aspects of PEP implementation, notably curriculum integration. However, other HRM factors showed less substantial impacts on PEP implementation. Based on these findings, recommendations were proposed to optimize HRM practices and improve PEP effectiveness. These included tailored professional development initiatives, revised performance evaluation practices, prioritization of employee satisfaction, enhancement of compensation and benefits, promotion of academic freedom, adoption of a holistic HRM approach, facilitation of collaborative partnerships, and establishment of a culture of continuous improvement and evaluation.
