Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human capital is a crucial resource for all types of organizations in the current commercial or non-commercial environments. Its fundamental feature is that it is owned by the employees themselves, and they only use it to help the organizations reach their goals. On the one hand, this hinders the assessment of the efforts to further develop human capital. On the other hand, it pushes organizations’ managers and researchers to look for new perspectives and paradigms when approaching this topic. This Special Issue follows the current knowledge, recognizing the three widely accepted forms of human capital development (education, improvements in people’s health, and improvements in working conditions). The aim is to push for state-of the-art practices by identifying new forms of human capital development and the methods for their assessment. This is relevant across all organizations and domains including the public sector, academia, sports, and others.
