Keywords:
human resources, knowledge-based organization, innovation, continuous learning, collaboration, knowledge management, organizational cultureAbstract
Knowledge-based organizations rely heavily on the ability of human resources (HR) to support innovation and continuous learning. Managing HR requires a comprehensive approach, which focuses not only on developing technical skills, but also on establishing an organizational culture that supports collaboration and knowledge sharing. The goal of HR development is to create individuals who are able to adapt to change, collaborate in teams, and create value for the organization through continuous learning. This study reviews best practices that can be applied by knowledge-based organizations in developing their HR to drive innovation. Some important aspects that need to be considered in this process are the implementation of policies that support lifelong learning, the use of information technology to share knowledge, and systematic knowledge management. Therefore, HR development that focuses on empowering individuals and creating a culture of continuous innovation is inevitable in knowledge-based organizations. For this reason, an appropriate and adaptive HR management strategy is needed that can create an ecosystem that is conducive to innovation, so that the organization can remain relevant and superior in industrial competition.
