THE ROLE AND IMPORTANCE OF THE HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT

This article examines the role and importance of the human resource management (HRM) system in enterprise management. The study considers HRM not merely as an administrative support function but as an integrated management system that connects corporate strategy with employees' knowledge, skills, motivation, and behavior. Drawing on the resource-based view of the firm, strategic HRM literature, and research on the relationship between HRM and organizational performance, the article systematizes the core functions of the HRM system, identifies the mechanisms through which these functions influence enterprise performance, and proposes a maturity model for assessing HRM systems in enterprises. Additionally, a set of key performance indicators is suggested to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of HRM systems. The findings indicate that the most significant contribution of HRM to enterprise management results from the internal consistency and complementarity of HRM practices and their alignment with organizational strategy, rather than from any single practice. The article concludes with practical recommendations for strengthening HRM systems and enhancing organizational effectiveness in developing and transition economies, including Uzbekistan.
