Education plays a significant role in shaping the social, economic, and political aspects of society. Jordan has made great progress in increasing access to education. With increased globalization, it is critical that education institutions ensure global competence. The administrative staff and faculty members in educational institutions should be equipped to work in a diverse and connected world. Human resource management (HRM) plays a crucial role in the development of global competence and creation of a conducive workplace environment, which requires effective communication that ensures inclusivity in decision-making. This study was to examine the perceptions from employees in the 19 Jordanian private universities on recruitment strategies; training, empowerment and development (TED) strategies; incentives and recognition strategies. A total of 635 individuals participated in the study. Descriptive statistics and statistical tests such as Cronbach's Alpha, T-tests, and ANOVA were applied to analyze the data by using SPSS and Microsoft Excel. Most of the participants "agreed" or "strongly agreed" that their adopted HRM strategies were implemented effectively. Among the three job categories, faculty members were least satisfied and HR participants were most satisfied than administrative non HR staff members. Furthermore, employees participated were less satisfied with incentives and recognition than they were with recruitment and TED strategies. The data also showed that employees aged below 50 were less satisfied with the strategies than those aged 50 or above. These findings suggested that Jordanian private universities should focus on improving their strategies for those who are in the younger age groups to enhance these individuals' perceptions of applied HRM strategies. It is also recommended to check employees' perceptions, review and update these strategies periodically in order to increase productivity, lower the turnover rate, and gain competitive advantage.
