This study was carried out to examine teachers’ opinions of human resources management functions in private schools in Libya. The study deployed a qualitative study approach. The instrument for data collection was a semi-structured interview schedule. The interviews were recorded and translated. Six teachers participated in the study. Content analysis was used to analyse the data. The findings showed that the functions of the HRM unit were identified as recruitment of staff, coordination of academic activities, encouragement of teachers and disciplining of erring ones; motivation of the staff, appraisal of teachers’ performance, and teachers’ support through the provision of necessary materials. It was also found that the teachers had positive perceptions towards these functions by the HRM unit. They all agreed that the unit has enhanced their professional development. It was also found that the HRM unit had a significant role to play in giving the school a competitive edge. However, a notable weakness identified is that the HRM unit finds faults more than they applaud the good performance
