Development of Human Resources in the Region: Cognitive Modeling

Abstract

The study substantiates the importance of studying the problem of human resource development in the context of the digital transformation of the economy at the regional level. The conducted scientometric analysis made it possible to identify key thematic clusters of research on this issue and show that the digital context is combined with issues of human health, competencies, government intervention, and management issues. With this in mind, the factors affecting human resource development in the region are determined based on the use of quantitative and qualitative analysis methods. This made it possible to build a cognitive map reflecting the relationship of human resources as a concept with other components of the socio-economic system at the meso-level. The analysis of the cognitive map allowed us to conclude that the system is unstable to disturbances in combination with its structural stability. Based on the study of the mutual influence of the peaks and the development of an experiment plan, cognitive modeling of the development of human resources in the region was implemented. The study presents two scenarios of the development of events, which show that the presented cognitive model can be used to develop strategies for the development of human resources as it allows us to identify the most significant factors for determining effective regulatory influences.
