This study aims to propose strategies for K University employees’ competency development by
applying a human performance technology (HPT) model. To achieve this aim, the ISPI HPT Model was
modified to suit the K University context. The performance analysis was conducted using workshop
activities in which the modified HPT model was applied. Considering the analysis units (such as
organization, process, and job/performer), the researchers identified a gap between K University's ideal
and current performance state. The cause analysis that was performed using Rummler and Brache’s
model, revealed three critical factors: transparency, fairness, and autonomy. In addition to these key
factors, the root causes of the performance gap were identified. For the next step, interventions were
selected, such as restructuring K University's core competency framework with a simplification process,
utilizing the National Competency Standard (NCS). A revision of training programs that were aligned
with the performance evaluation process reflecting the restructured core competency framework was
proposed. Action learning and communities of practice (CoP) were also recommended as development
strategies for the University employees. This study was based on the four HPT essential principles:
results based, systemic, value-added, and partnership orientation. This study is unique as it applies
performance consulting research in the context of a public higher education institution.
