This article presents a comprehensive scientific analysis of human resource management (HRM) models applied in European hotel enterprises and explores the prospects of adapting these models to the hospitality sector of Uzbekistan. The study examines the distinctive features of European HRM approaches, including the Nordic participative model, the German social-partnership model, the French competency-based model, and the Anglo-Saxon performance-oriented model. Particular attention is devoted to the strategic role of HRM in ensuring service quality, employee engagement, and organizational competitiveness in the hotel industry. Drawing on the practical experience of leading European hotel chains and empirical observations from hotels in the Bukhara region, the article offers practical recommendations for integrating European HRM principles into the human resource practices of Uzbek hotel enterprises.
