摘要:Human resource management is the key component for every organization. The empowerment of
human resource is a strategic decision which in return affects the organizational productivity. The
purpose of the present study is to examine the impact of HR empowerment through information
technology, cultural dimensions and organizational knowledge with their impact on Muhammadiyah
higher education productivity in Indonesia. To address this objective, a questionnaire was developed
as a core instrument to collect primary data from the employees of Muhammadiyah higher
education. A final sample of 138 respondents was collected for applying the structural equation
modelling (SEM) approach with the factor analyses. Additionally, validity of the questionnaire
was observed through three measures; namely Cronbach’s alpha, average variance extracted and
composite reliability. Findings through structural equation modelling approach specify that all
three dimensions of HR empowerment have shown their positive and significant influences on
Muhammadiyah higher education productivity. However, this study is limited by various perspective.
First, data is collected from Indonesia through employees of Muhammadiyah higher education
only with limited generalizability of the findings. Second, the study has not discussed the
combine effects of human resource empowerment on the overall productivity of Muhammadiyah
higher education but with individual dimensions like cultural, information technology and
knowledge factors. The findings can be meaningful to boost the performance and productivity of
higher education while understanding its structural relationship between human resource development.
