At the current stage, one of the most critical aspects of workforce
planning in Human Resources Management (HRM) entails ensuring that employees
possess the appropriate skills and competencies to fulfill the
organization's job description requirements. The global competitiveness in
the modern aviation business has undergone a profound change (Intelligence
Human Systems Integration) and the proliferation of a diverse network of
low-cost and traditional carriers that has increased the reach, breadth, and
frequency of traditional passenger-carrying services. As a result of the
constantly expanding gap between demand and supply for qualified and highly
competent experts in Intelligence Human Systems Integration, airline
recruiters are under increasing pressure to find novel techniques for
attracting and communicating with potential employees.This study aims to
develop a strategy for incorporating the Competency-Based Training and
Assessment (CBTA) framework into aviation personnel planning, training and
management of the Intelligence Human Systems Integration - change. Research
objectives include a theoretical study of the CBTA framework, an examination
of the existing state of human resources planning, training and operations;
the identification of the pilot performance gaps and the function of quality
training; and a recommendation for adopting the CBTA framework in aviation
human resources framework and Intelligence Human Systems Integration. When
establishing the worldwide CBTA framework for the aviation industry, the
authors analyzed the controlling elements and trends in the industry,
proposing a global approach of managing the Intelligence Human Systems
Integration - change.The components of putting the CBTA framework into
action were considered in light of the pandemic repercussions. According to
the findings of the subsequent study, aviation programs should encourage
learning beyond the minimum knowledge requirements during the ab initio
phase of the training, as well as provide opportunities for ongoing
education and emphasize the quality of education rather than the quantity
(building hours), implementing new aspects of technology (AI). As a result
of the research, several conclusions have been formed, and one of them is
that the demand for human factors is a top priority in the aviation
business. This demand is affected by organizational culture, resistance to
technological change, and legislative employment constraints.In the
following study, a synthesis of the Lean Six Sigma (L6) strategy and
implementation of the CBTA framework is proposed as an alternative to the
existing method in many countries, which restricts management of change and
causes unneeded organizational pressure. Additional recommendations include
implementing validated CBTA – EBT / psychological applications during the
implementation process and management of change to assist airlines in
becoming an employer of choice in the sector and expedite the Intelligence
Human Systems Integration .
