Abstract

Changes in the business environment due to digitalization, technological transformation, and global competition require organizations to have competent and adaptive human resources. This study aims to analyze the implementation of competency-based Human Capital Development, the factors influencing its success, and its contribution to sustainable organizational performance. The study used a qualitative approach through case studies and literature reviews. Data were collected through interviews, observations, documentation, and previous research reviews, then analyzed descriptively. The results show that competency development implementation is carried out through competency mapping, gap analysis-based training, reskilling, upskilling, mentoring, and integration of competency evaluation with organizational performance targets. The success of implementation is influenced by top management support, an organizational learning culture, digital learning technology readiness, and continuous competency evaluation. Competency-based human capital development has been proven to increase productivity, innovation, align individual capabilities with organizational goals, and support sustainable organizational performance. Therefore, organizations need to develop a structured and integrated competency development strategy.
