EVALUATING THE GAP BETWEEN ACTUAL AND TARGET COMPETENCIES IN HUMAN RESOURCES IN INDONESIA: ANALYSIS OF KEY COMPETENCY CORRELATIONS AND INNOVATIVE APPROACHES FOR INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

This study investigates the disparity between actual achievements and target competencies of Human Resources (HR) in Indonesia, focusing on the identification and analysis of key competencies. Data were collected and analyzed using NVivo to explore correlations among various competencies, such as innovation management through power-sharing models and quasi-experimental methods. The results reveal a significant positive correlation among several competencies, indicating that improvements in one area can coincide with advancements in another. However, the findings also highlight a substantial gap between actual achievements and desired targets, underscoring the need for a more holistic and integrated approach to competency development. By utilizing NVivo, this research identifies areas requiring further attention and offers strategic insights for more effective HR development. The main conclusion of this study is the necessity to focus on strengthening underdeveloped competencies and leveraging synergies among competencies to bridge this gap. The proposed strategies aim not only to narrow the competency gap but also to enhance global competitiveness and Indonesia’s readiness to face modern challenges.
