Abstract
This study aims to explore the impact of human resource competencies on the performance of small-scale startups in Egypt, focusing on the case study of the Project Development Agency. 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 important 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 major challenges faced by these companies. 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 in a way that allows accurate conclusions to be drawn 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 found to be the most influential, as they contribute significantly to organizing work and achieving the company’s strategic goals. Intellectual and personal competencies also showed a significant impact on performance, but to a lesser extent than managerial competencies. These results emphasize the need to develop and train core competencies among employees in startups to increase their effectiveness and enhance the company’s overall performance. The study recommends the importance of enhancing 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 the adoption of effective human resources management strategies that are compatible with the nature and needs of startups to achieve the best possible results.
