Resumo
Objetivo: O estudo visa fundamentar a prioridade de desenvolvimento do potencial inovador do capital humano como fator-chave para o aumento da competitividade das macrorregiões, particularmente em territórios com crescimento socioeconômico mais lento.
Metodologia/Abordagem: A pesquisa aplica desenvolvimentos metodológicos para avaliar o potencial humano, adaptando e refinando abordagens existentes com novos indicadores. Utilizando análise estatística, foram calculados índices integrais de capital humano e competitividade para os Distritos Federais do Sul e do Norte do Cáucaso, na Rússia. A correlação entre esses índices e o potencial de inovação do capital humano foi examinada utilizando o método de correlação de postos de Spearman.
Originalidade/Relevância: A novidade do estudo reside em demonstrar que o potencial inovador do capital humano tem um impacto mais forte na competitividade em regiões menos desenvolvidas, em comparação com as regiões socioeconômicas líderes. Isso destaca o papel decisivo dos fatores centrados no ser humano no crescimento regional em condições de transformação digital.
Conclusão Principal: Os resultados mostram que, embora o Distrito Federal do Sul supere o Distrito Federal do Cáucaso do Norte em desenvolvimento socioeconômico, a correlação entre potencial de inovação e competitividade é mais forte no Cáucaso do Norte. Isso sugere que fatores tradicionais predominam nas regiões do Sul, enquanto a capacidade inovadora do capital humano desempenha um papel cada vez mais crítico no Cáucaso do Norte.
Contribuição Teórica/Metodológica: O estudo avança a metodologia de avaliação do capital humano, introduzindo indicadores refinados e aplicando a correlação de Spearman para analisar as inter-relações entre competitividade e inovação. Contribui para a compreensão teórica do capital humano como impulsionador da competitividade regional e oferece insights práticos para a gestão de estratégias de desenvolvimento orientadas à inovação.
