OPTIMAL USE OF HUMAN CAPITAL IN AN ORGANIZATION

Abstract

Human capital is the most valuable asset of an organization. Given that human being does not consist of just flesh and blood and he has its own spiritual world, it is clear that any event which occurs in organization will be affecting his psychology in the positive or negative way and therefore this will influence the activities of organizations. Sometimes providing motivation may not be sufficient while dealing with some problems in organizations. In this study, some principles and rules are discussed for optimal use of human capital in an organization. In addition to increasing motivation, giving some responsibilities to employees, providing them to make constructive criticism and competition, fair distribution of tasks among them and using synergy’s power to reach goals are some rules for optimal use of human capital discussed in this study.
