STRATEGIC HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN INDUSTRIAL INNOVATION SYSTEMS

Innovation has become a decisive determinant of industrial competitiveness in the contemporary global economy. The Fourth Industrial Revolution has intensified the role of human capital, transforming workforce capabilities into a central strategic resource. This study investigates the role of Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) in fostering innovation performance within Uzbekistan’s industrial sector. Using sectoral employment statistics, R&D expenditure indicators, productivity measures, and international benchmarking, the research demonstrates that enterprises implementing strategic HR systems exhibit significantly higher technological adoption, innovation output, and production efficiency. Empirical findings reveal that firms with integrated HR development frameworks record higher rates of product and process innovation, accelerated digital transformation, and improved export competitiveness. The study confirms that workforce strategy constitutes a fundamental mechanism for accelerating Uzbekistan’s industrial modernization and achieving sustainable technological progress.

在当代全球经济体系中，创新已成为产业竞争力的决定性要素。第四次工业革命强化了人力资本的核心地位，将劳动力能力转化为关键战略资源。本研究探讨战略人力资源管理（Strategic Human Resource Management, SHRM）在乌兹别克斯坦产业部门创新绩效提升中的作用。研究采用行业分部门就业统计数据、研发（Research and Development, R&D）支出指标、生产率测度指标及国际对标分析方法，结果显示，实施战略人力资源管理体系的企业，其技术采纳率、创新产出与生产效率均显著更高。实证研究结果表明，搭建整合式人力资源发展框架的企业，产品与工艺创新率更高，数字化转型进程更快，出口竞争力亦得到显著提升。本研究证实，劳动力战略是加速乌兹别克斯坦产业现代化、实现可持续技术进步的核心支撑机制。
