THE CONTRIBUTION OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES TO PROFESSORS’ TEACHING AND RESEARCH EFFICIENCY IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

The thesis analyses the contribution of human resource management practices to the teaching and research
efficiency of professors in higher education institutions. Based on research into high-performance work systems, the
ability–motivation–opportunity framework and the strength of HRM systems, it shows that HR practices influence efficiency
as a coherent system rather than individually. The teaching output of the higher education system of Uzbekistan in 2023–
2025 is analysed, and a matrix linking HR practices to teaching and research outcomes is proposed.
