Methodology for improving human resources in the textile industry of the Republic of Uzbekistan
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to develop a methodological framework for improving human resources in the textile industry of Uzbekistan in the context of clustering, technological modernization, and growing export activity. The theoretical basis of the study is the concept of human capital, a resource-based approach to a firm's competitive advantages, and modern models of strategic HR management. Based on an analysis of international research, as well as that of scholars from the CIS and Uzbekistan on the development of the textile industry and human resources, as well as statistical data on the development of the textile industry and Uzbekistan's foreign trade for 2019–2024, an integrated methodology has been developed. This methodology includes the stages of diagnosing human resources potential, strategically planning personnel needs, developing a competency-based industry model, institutional support for personnel training, and implementing digital HR tools. It is shown that, with textile exports estimated at approximately USD 2.9 billion in 2024 and more than 7,000 textile enterprises operating, the key constraints are a shortage of qualified specialists, a gap between the personnel training system and production requirements, and fragmented systems for assessing the effectiveness of human resources. The proposed methodology focuses on a cluster approach, dual education, the development of corporate training centers, and the digitalization of HR processes.
