Abstract
As an initial foundation for a capacity development program, this study evaluated hospital staff members' knowledge of the Program to Institutionalize Meritocracy and Excellence in Human Resource Management (PRIME-HRM). It utilized a descriptive-correlational design with 100 Department of Health employees chosen by proportional stratified random sampling from a Level II general hospital in Eastern Pangasinan. The data analysis employed Spearman rank-order correlation and weighted mean. The results showed a high degree of awareness regarding importance, with a weighted mean of 4.42, and benefits, with a weighted mean of 4.34, which were both interpreted as "Always." The importance of PRIME-HRM in strategic decision-making, enhanced customer service, employee satisfaction, and organizational transformation was widely acknowledged by respondents. Recognition of best practices, meritocracy, and training incentives were among the lower-rated indicators, indicating that these aspects were not as visible. It showed a high level of awareness of PRIME-HRM, emphasizing its role in efficient human resource management and public service. To improve awareness and implementation even more, a capacity development program is advised.
