“…Human capital is the ability of an organization to create value through the use of experience, learning, skills, training, and creativity of its employees. How team members use their limited human and psychological capital to make social knowledge effective is an important factor in improving the performance and knowledge sharing of an organization's employees [48]. Human capital is defined as the knowledge, skills, and abilities that indigenous people acquire through investment in education and other types of experiences [49].…”

This study aims to investigate and identify the factors affecting the empowerment and implementation of knowledge management in organizations as well as the impact of knowledge management on organizational performance. This study also examines the mediating role of human capital in the relationship between knowledge management and performance of Kabul Steel Plant, which is the largest steel plant in Afghanistan. The research model was developed through the literature review. The initial data were collected through a questionnaire containing 48 questions. Participants were 108 managers and administrative staff of the company. The collected data were analyzed by using the SPSS and SmartPLS software. The hypotheses regarding the impact of strategy and technology on knowledge management were rejected by using correlation analysis and t-test statistic. Finally, the findings showed the positive effects of variables of structure, culture, leadership, and trust on knowledge management in an organization. Also, knowledge management influences the organizational performance, both directly and through the mediating variable of human capital. This research encourages the managers and employees of organizations to use the available organizational resources to implement knowledge management in organizations and improve knowledge management practices and human resources that are the most valuable resources of any organization in order to remain competitive in the markets.

“…In general, GMM is applicable to research questions focusing on changes in a certain outcome over time, while interest in the heterogeneity among samples can be added to its utilization. Furthermore, the ability to recognize the heterogeneity within the proposed model would provide more diverse insights and substantial contributions to the fields of hospitality and tourism [ 20 , 21 ]. In this section, we would suggest several possible applications in hospitality and tourism research.…”

“…Furthermore, research recently published in hospitality and tourism fields strongly emphasized the importance of heterogeneity within the sample to get a clearer understanding of research questions [ 20 , 21 ]. To respond to these calls, researchers may need to incorporate person-centered (differences among unobserved subpopulations) and variable-centered (differences in outcome change) approaches into the analytic framework.…”

As travel activity has gained attention as one of the essential ways of understanding the sustainable growth of social tourism, a growing number of research projects have been conducted to elucidate the relationship between residents’ travel quantity (frequency) and quality (experience) in both macro and micro perspectives. Yet, very little research has highlighted that travel opportunities are not equally available to residents, especially a longitudinal perspective. The current study classified domestic travelers into four distinct classes using four years of longitudinal data from 5054 Korean residents. Latent growth curve modeling (LGCM) and growth mixture modeling (GMM) were employed to find out (1) the optimal number of classes, (2) the longitudinal travel frequency trajectory of each class, and (3) the distinctive demographic and travel characteristics of the four classes. This study provides some practical implications for policymakers when optimizing available resources for sustainable travel opportunities to relevant target sub-populations. Furthermore, detailed step-by-step analytic tutorials are also introduced for the extended application of longitudinal latent variable analysis in the tourism and hospitality fields, providing additional insights for relevant stakeholders.

“… Assaker et al (2020) proposed that human capital in a high-end catering industry had a structural impact on enterprise performance using response unit segmentation technology. Hamilton and Sodeman (2020) used big data of the HRM center to identify and develop knowledge stars that contributed too much to enterprise innovation, so as to help enhance enterprise capacity.…”

“…Spiritual heterogeneity is mainly reflected in innovation, ability heterogeneity is mainly reflected in employing judgment, and activity heterogeneity is mainly reflected in entrepreneurship and management activities. Different types of human capital have different modes of action and contribution intensity to enterprise benefits (Capelleras et al, 2019;Assaker et al, 2020). As far as the amount of human capital of an enterprise is concerned, the population increases, the number of labor force increases, and the total human capital increases.…”

This research was conducted for the purpose of exploring the role of venture capital (VC) based on the heterogeneity of human capital in the process of transforming innovation capabilities of enterprise into enterprise benefits and providing a reference for further research on enterprise performance development. In this study, 399 listed companies that obtained VC before 2018 from the China VC database and Wind China financial database were selected as research objects, and relevant data of patent number, return on equity, Tobin's Q ratio, and research and development (R&D) investment ratio of each enterprise were obtained. Enterprise innovation ability was introduced to construct the relationship model of human-capital VC, enterprise innovation ability, and enterprise benefit, and the relationship between human-capital VC, enterprise innovation ability, and enterprise benefit was analyzed by the multiple-regression model. The results show that the number of patents of invested enterprises has an extremely significant positive correlation with the human capital index (P < 0.001), and a significant positive correlation with the education level of personnel, the proportion of engineering professionals (P < 0.05). The return on equity and Tobin's Q ratio of enterprises have extremely significant positive correlations with the number of patents of invested enterprises (P < 0.001) and have a significant positive correlation with the number of patents of the invested enterprises × education level of the personnel, and the number of patents of the invested enterprises × proportion of engineering professionals (P < 0.05). All in all, the education level of the entrepreneur' s VC human capital and the proportion of engineering professionals can effectively improve the innovation ability of the enterprise, thus indirectly playing a value-added role in the improvement of enterprise benefits. The invested enterprises will also face the problems of scale diseconomy and financing constraint when their profitability is enhanced, so they need to optimize their own business strategies.
