<![CDATA[The maritime logistics sector faces increasing pressure from digital transformation, skill shortages, and rising performance demands, highlighting the need for more effective human resource development strategies. This study aims to develop and empirically test Maslahah Knowledge-Based Skills (MKBS) as a mediating mechanism linking training practices to employee performance. A quantitative explanatory design was applied using data from 96 employees across maritime logistics companies in Central Java, analyzed with PLS-SEM. The results show that Training Needs Analysis (TNA) (? = 0.503, p 0.001), On-the-Job Training (OJT) (? = 0.195, p = 0.027), and Voluntary Training (VT) (? = 0.083, p = 0.001) significantly influence MKBS. Furthermore, MKBS has a strong effect on performance (? = 0.700, p 0.001) and significantly mediates all training-performance relationships. The findings indicate that training does not directly improve performance unless it is internalized into value-oriented, knowledge-based skills. This study extends Knowledge-Based Theory (KBT) by integrating maslahah as a normative dimension in skill formation and provides practical implications for designing sustainable, value-driven HR development in maritime logistics.]]>
