As Uzbekistan transitions into a knowledge-based economy, the integration of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) in human resource practices, particularly in performance
management, emerges as a pivotal strategy for enhancing organizational effectiveness.
This article examines the transformative potential of AI technologies in performance
management systems within Uzbekistan, highlighting how AI can revolutionize
traditional approaches to employee evaluation and development.
The study discusses the benefits of AI-driven analytics in providing real-time
performance metrics, facilitating continuous feedback, and personalizing employee
development plans. These innovations not only increase the efficiency of performance
evaluations but also foster a culture of engagement and accountability among
employees. Case studies from leading Uzbek organizations, such as Beeline Uzbekistan
and Telia Uzbekistan, illustrate the successful application of AI tools in creating data-
driven performance management frameworks.
However, the article also addresses significant challenges, including cultural
resistance to AI adoption, data privacy concerns, and the necessity for upskilling HR
professionals to leverage these technologies effectively. The findings underscore the
importance of a strategic approach that considers the unique cultural context of
Uzbekistan while promoting AI literacy within the workforce.
Ultimately, this article advocates for the proactive adoption of AI in performance
management as a means to align organizational goals with employee aspirations,
thereby driving sustainable growth and innovation in Uzbekistan's evolving economic
landscape.
