Construction of HRBP Competency Model for Chinese Intelligent Manufacturing Enterprises in the Era of Digital Economy

To adapt to the digital economy era, many intelligent manufacturing enterprises in China are transitioning from traditional professional transactional management to a human resource business partner model with customer value as the core concept. However, the lack of a specific HRBP role definition can pose a challenge in selecting an HRBP who fully aligns with the business department's needs, ultimately resulting in human resources management mode transformation failures. This paper employs both empirical analysis and survey research to investigate the specific practices of HRBP positions within intelligent manufacturing enterprises. The HRBP competency model for intelligent manufacturing enterprises is preliminarily constructed through job analysis, behavioural event interviews, and questionnaire survey methods. The initial model has undergone reliability and validity tests, with the weights of competency dimensions determined by both subjective judgment and importance proportion methods. We present an HRBP competency model for intelligent manufacturing enterprises comprising six competency dimensions and 21 specific indicators. Based on the model, targeted strategies are proposed to enhance HRBP competencies in intelligent manufacturing enterprises. This model serves as practical guidance for human resource management in China's rapidly growing intelligent manufacturing enterprises.
