This study originates from the issue of weak human resource development (HRD) among productive teachers in Palu City, characterized by an imbalance between the number of productive teachers and the ideal needs, resulting in a heavy workload that diminishes motivation for self-development. The comfortable status of teachers as civil servants and their financial stability through regular salaries and professional allowances further weaken both internal and external incentives to improve competencies. In contrast, the absence of economic incentives, rewards, or sanctions related to professional development activities reduces teachers commitment to responding to the evolving demands of vocational education. The study aims to analyze HRD among productive teachers using Swansons theoretical framework, which consists of three levels of analysis: individual, process, and organizational. A qualitative approach is employed to understand how individual motivation, capacity, readiness to develop, learning processes, and organizational policies influence teachers competency development. The findings indicate that the application of Swansons framework has not operated effectively due to fundamental weaknesses at the individual level, which hinder the optimal functioning of learning processes and organizational support. Overall, HRD among productive teachers in Palu City has not aligned with Swansons principles, highlighting the need for policy interventions in teacher staffing, strengthened professional development incentives, and the cultivation of an organizational culture that promotes continuous learning.

Conclusion

The study concludes that Swansons concept of human resource development is not optimally applied in the context of productive teachers in Palu City due to foundational weaknesses at the individual level.The imbalance between the number of teachers and the ideal requirement, coupled with heavy workloads, hinders teachers psychological readiness and motivation for professional growth.Furthermore, the lack of economic incentives and a supportive organizational culture diminishes the drive for continuous self-development, preventing the effective implementation of HRD principles as outlined by Swanson.

Future Research

Berdasarkan temuan penelitian, terdapat beberapa saran penelitian lanjutan yang dapat dilakukan. Pertama, penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan untuk mengidentifikasi secara spesifik faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan rendahnya motivasi pengembangan diri pada guru produktif di Palu City, termasuk analisis mendalam mengenai persepsi mereka terhadap manfaat pengembangan profesional dan pengaruh status sebagai pegawai negeri sipil. Kedua, studi komparatif dapat dilakukan dengan membandingkan implementasi HRD pada SMK di Palu City dengan daerah lain yang memiliki karakteristik serupa, namun berhasil menerapkan model pengembangan guru yang lebih efektif. Hal ini akan membantu mengidentifikasi praktik-praktik terbaik yang dapat diadopsi. Ketiga, penelitian tindakan (action research) dapat dilakukan untuk menguji efektivitas intervensi yang dirancang untuk meningkatkan motivasi dan kapasitas guru produktif, seperti pemberian insentif finansial, program mentoring, atau pelatihan yang relevan dengan kebutuhan industri. Penelitian ini harus melibatkan partisipasi aktif dari guru, kepala sekolah, dan pemangku kepentingan lainnya untuk memastikan keberhasilan implementasi dan keberlanjutan program.
