Uzbekistan’s higher education system has rapidly expanded and reformed since 2016, making the effectivemanagement of administrative personnel a national priority. This study examines how public universities are improvingadministrative efficiency amid structural decentralization, financial autonomy, and digital transformation. Despite thegrowth of institutions and enrollment, legacy bureaucratic models have left many universities with excessive administrativestaffing—often exceeding 45–50% of total employees—necessitating reform to enhance economic efficiency andresponsiveness. The research identifies a key knowledge gap in understanding how autonomy, human resource (HR)strategies, and digital technologies jointly influence administrative performance in Uzbekistan’s public universities. Usingcomparative case analysis of Tashkent State University of Economics (TSUE) and Fergana State University, the studyevaluates management reforms across three dimensions: economic efficiency, HR modernization, and digital integration.Findings reveal that financial autonomy enables universities to optimize administrative structures and reinvest savingsin academic priorities. HR reforms—particularly merit-based recruitment, professional training, and data-driven e-HRMsystems—are fostering a more skilled and accountable administrative workforce. Meanwhile, the adoption of HigherEducation Management Information Systems (HEMIS) and related digital tools has streamlined workflows and improvedtransparency, though disparities in digital capacity persist among regional institutions. The results suggest that combiningautonomy with targeted HR development and digital governance yields measurable gains in efficiency and service quality.The study concludes that sustained investment in administrative training, equitable digital infrastructure, and data-informedmanagement is essential for building an effective, innovation-driven higher education administration in Uzbekistan.
