Proposition d’un modèle de construction du capital humain en milieu organisationnel

Abstract

The studies on human capital, carried out to date, have clearly shown its importance for organizations. However, its construction in the workplace remains little explored. Even research on its model is scarce. To understand the variables to be prioritized, a study of Chadian HRM practitioners and theorists was carried out. We applied the mixed methodology. Data was generated through 11 semi-structured interviews and 178 surveys. The step-by-step deconstruction approach of the human capital construction process, from reception to permanence, was used. The results showed that at the stage of welcoming human capital in the organizational environment, coaching practices promote the skills to perform tasks in a structured manner. Then, at the integration stage, coaching practices and investments in training are two effective levers. Finally, during the permanence phase, we have seen an undeniable contribution from investments in training, but it is above all the opportunities for experience and the agile environment that promote the building of the best talents in the workplace. This article is useful for researchers who will find a renewed definition of human capital with new proven variables and items that appear to be more relevant. Managers and consultants will find new variables to effectively enhance and value human capital in the workplace. This article is in line with the theory of resources and the theory of skills and suggests that there is a differentiated relational contingency in each phase of the construction of human capital.
