With the progress witnessed in the current era in all fields, the need of learners, especially in higher education institutions, is increasing to provide a supportive teaching and learning environment that provides them with the necessary knowledge and skills to participate in serving their communities, and thus human resources are invested effectively to improve the lives of individuals and communities. Therefore, this study dealt with human resources efficiency research in higher education, because indexing and classifying studies, determining their results and proposals, and presenting recommendations would provide researchers and institutions with a comprehensive and integrated view of what has been accomplished in previous research, in addition to accurately identifying the aspects that need further research. To achieve this, this study uses systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) to shed light on HR skills in higher education students using 35 research articles. The study tracks many important aspects such as the skills, theories and models that were addressed. The results confirm the necessity of conducting future research to shed light on aspects that have not been adequately studied due to the importance of this in developing students’ personality, academic performance, and future skills. The results recommend conducting more research in unexplored disciplines and elsewhere and with a larger number of samples, and focusing future research on the subject on technology and artificial intelligence and addressing the controls, rules and ethics that govern their use, especially in this era characterized by rapid technological and informational progress.
