Abstract
This study explores the mechanisms for implementing an integrated system for managing the digital development of human capital within enterprises in the context of Kazakhstan’s transition to a digital economy. The research substantiates the need for a holistic model of human capital assessment and development that combines technological, organizational, and educational components. Using an integrative approach, the authors propose a structural–functional mechanism encompassing evaluation, formation, and growth of human capital through collaboration between enterprises, universities, and state institutions. The model includes a multi–level algorithm linking mission, goals, and sub–goals of the process, ensuring systemic coordination and adaptability to digital transformation. The paper also introduces the design of an information system that automates data collection, monitoring, and forecasting of human capital indicators, enabling quantitative evaluation of digital competencies and efficiency of investments in workforce development. The proposed methodology integrates principles of economic efficiency, feasibility, and innovation sustainability. The results contribute to strengthening Kazakhstan’s scientific and practical foundation for digital workforce management and can be applied to industrial enterprises, educational institutions, and policymaking. The study highlights the theoretical significance of defining digital competence as a multidimensional construct encompassing literacy, creativity, and analytical capacity to use technology productively. Overall, the proposed integrative mechanism enhances the methodological toolkit for managing human capital under digitalization and provides strategic insights for ensuring competitiveness and socio–economic resilience in the digital age.
