THE EFFECTIVENESS OF COMPETENCY-BASED TRAINING PROGRAM CLASSES ON HUMAN RESOURCES PERFORMANCE IN THE CREATIVE INDUSTRY SECTOR

Introduction

The effectiveness of competency-based training program classes on human resources performance in the creative industry sector. Analyze competency-based training effectiveness on creative industry HR performance. Shows positive impact on creativity, innovation & productivity. A key strategy for digital transformation & SDGs.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of competency-based training on the performance of human resources (HR) in the creative industry sector using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The analysis was conducted on 50 recent studies (2020–2025) selected from 947 initial articles through the stages of identification, selection, and quality assessment. The results of the study show that competency-based training consistently has a positive impact on creativity (92.9%), innovation (93.3%), competitiveness (88.9%), and productivity (86.4%). The effectiveness of the program is influenced by the design of the relevant curriculum, the integration of digital technologies (e-learning, VR/AR), collaboration between industry and educational institutions, and the support of organizational management. These findings also have global implications in supporting  the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda, especially in the aspects of quality education (SDG 4), decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), and industrial innovation (SDG 9). However, this study found a research gap, namely the limitations of longitudinal studies on long-term impacts, the lack of studies on the integration of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, and the need for a more systematic industry-education collaboration model. Thus, this study emphasizes that competency-based training is a key strategy in strengthening the competitiveness of creative industry human resources in the era of global digital transformation.

Review

This systematic literature review (SLR) provides a timely and relevant analysis of the effectiveness of competency-based training on human resources performance within the creative industry sector. By meticulously analyzing 50 recent studies, the authors establish a robust foundation for understanding current trends and impacts. The chosen methodology offers a valuable synthesis of existing knowledge, addressing a critical area in workforce development, particularly as creative industries navigate rapid digital transformation and evolving skill demands. The abstract effectively outlines the study's scope and the rigorous process undertaken for article selection. A key strength of this review is its clear demonstration of the consistent positive impact of competency-based training on vital performance metrics, including creativity (92.9%), innovation (93.3%), competitiveness (88.9%), and productivity (86.4%). The identification of crucial influencing factors—such as relevant curriculum design, integration of digital technologies, industry-educational collaboration, and organizational management support—provides actionable insights for stakeholders. Furthermore, the study commendably frames its findings within the context of global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 4, 8, and 9), thereby enhancing its broader societal and economic significance and highlighting its potential for informing policy. Despite its valuable contributions, the review transparently identifies several important research gaps that warrant future attention. The noted limitation regarding the scarcity of longitudinal studies on long-term impacts suggests a need for primary research that tracks sustained effectiveness over time. Additionally, the lack of studies on the integration of cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning into competency-based training represents a significant area for innovation and exploration. Finally, the call for a more systematic industry-education collaboration model indicates a need for practical frameworks and empirical investigations into optimal partnership structures. Addressing these identified gaps would further enrich the understanding and application of competency-based training in the dynamic creative sector.
