| Abstract | ||||
| This study aims to explore the impact of human resource competencies on the performance of small-scale startups in Egypt, focusing on the Project Development Agency case study. The study focuses on how human resource management strategies affect the performance of these companies, specifically through analyzing best practices and assessing the efficiency of human resources within these companies. This research is necessary because it seeks to understand the relationship between human resource competencies and the performance of startups in an environment characterized by limited resources and the significant challenges these companies face. The study relied on the descriptive analytical approach to analyze the relationship between human resource efficiency variables and the performance of startups. This approach is appropriate because it allows the examination and analysis of existing data to enable accurate conclusions about the impact of human resource competencies on performance. The study included a sample of small startups supported by the Project Development Agency in Egypt, where the effectiveness of administrative, mental, and personal competencies in these companies was evaluated. The results showed that human resource competencies play a crucial role in improving the performance of small-scale startups. In particular, administrative competencies were the most influential, as they contribute significantly to organizing work and achieving the company’s strategic goals. Intellectual and personal competencies also significantly impacted performance but to a lesser extent than managerial competencies. These results emphasize the need to develop and train core competencies among startup employees to increase their effectiveness and enhance the company’s overall performance. The study recommends improving training and development programs in key competency areas, especially managerial competencies, to improve startup performance. It also emphasizes the vital role that human resources play in driving the success of these companies, especially in a challenging business environment such as small startups. Furthermore, the study recommends adopting effective human resources management strategies compatible with the nature and needs of startups to achieve the best possible results. | ||||
