Abstract

In the knowledge-based economy, SHRM is vital for attracting, developing, and retaining talent that fuels innovation. This study analyzes how SHRM aligns human capital with organizational goals in knowledge-intensive sectors. Using theories like the Resource-Based View and Human Capital Theory, it proposes a framework linking attraction, development, and retention. It highlights employer branding, adaptive learning, and value-based engagement in strengthening workforce capability and loyalty. In Indonesia’s digital economy, it explores SHRM’s alignment with workforce policies. Theoretical contributions include a unified model for knowledge economies. Practical insights support HR leaders and policymakers. The research shows SHRM’s role in building agile, innovation-ready organizations in emerging markets.
