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.Downloads
