Changes in the work environment and the increasing demand for high-quality human resources encourage organizations to pay greater attention to employee competencies, skill development, readiness for change, and leadership in improving human resource performance. This study aims to analyze the effects of human resource competence, skill development, and readiness for change on human resource performance and to examine the role of transformational leadership as a moderating variable. This study employed a quantitative approach by collecting data through questionnaires from 110 respondents. Data were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach with the assistance of SmartPLS. The results indicate that human resource competence, skill development, and readiness for change have a positive and significant effect on human resource performance. Transformational leadership does not moderate the effect of human resource competence on performance but strengthens the effect of skill development on human resource performance. Meanwhile, transformational leadership does not moderate the effect of readiness for change on human resource performance. These findings indicate that improving competence, developing skills, and strengthening employees’ readiness for change are important factors in enhancing human resource performance, while transformational leadership plays a specific role in optimizing the effectiveness of skill development programs.
