Recursos Humanos Para a Economia Do Conhecimento Na Ótica Da Teoria Do Capital Humano

Abstract

Human Capital Theory (HCT) has helped to explain problems related to education and economic development. This study uses HCT to understand the phenomenon of the availability or shortage of human resources with training in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and others, which are essential for the development companies in a knowledge economy. The main objective of this article is to propose dimensions, categories and elements of analysis, identified in HCT, that favor the analysis of the phenomenon of the availability or shortage of these human resources. To achieve this goal, a literature review was performed on HCT, considering both seminal and contemporary references. This study proposes aspects related to training and qualification, the presence of motivating factors at an organizational level, the potential for professional mobility, and practices of investment in career development, as explanatory factors for understanding the problem of availability/shortage of human Disponível em: www.univali.br/periodicos

Theoretical and Methodological Contributions of the Knowledge Economy

“…Almost the same can be seen in the South region, which has a total of 47 cooperatives and most (22) are at the SK3 level, with 9 at the SK4 level, 10 at the SK2 level and only 6 at the SK1 level. Data from the South region point to a slight improvement in the level of knowledge acquired, as there are 6 cooperatives at the SK1 level and most of them are in SK3, despite still having a low potential for disseminating the acquired knowledge.…”

“…Within this context, the Human Capital Theory (TCH) also emerged, which seeks to quantify and parameterize the levels of knowledge and skills of individuals in certain professional functions, that is, "The greater the investment in training, the greater the specialization and, consequently, the greater the stock of human capital "(KAROLCZAK and SOUZA, 2017, p. 67) [22]. The authors further argue, based on Schultz (1961), that investing in the acquisition of people's skills and knowledge and in education is a factor that confers a certain degree of superiority to some capitalist countries, with the ability to produce for humans an aspect that goes beyond all other possibilities of wealth (KAROLCZAK and SOUZA, 2017) [22].…”

“…The theory also explains that the subjects have independence in relation to their qualifications and can seek them internally or externally, however, in the second case, the professional may end up not returning to the company, that is, the do not return to the company, in the form of work and knowledge, the investment that was made in it (KAROLCZAK and SOUZA, 2017) [22]. For this reason, measuring the value of human capital is something so complex and Schultz (1961) [37], motivated by this difficulty, proposed some examples of activities that could better qualify human capital, such as: access to health services, which guarantees more vitality; formal education at all levels; training in and out of the work environment; immigration to adjust to the job opportunity (KAROLCZAK and SOUZA, 2017) [22]. Some time later, Schultz (1973) [38] created new parameters for these measures, arguing that "although human capital, as such, cannot be bought or sold, it is comparatively easy to estimate the value of the production services of this capital, as they are expressed in prices in terms of wages in the labor market" (SCHULTZ, 1973) [38].…”

“…Regarding the methodology, it is stated that the main path followed was an analysis of the recurrent literature related to the theme of the knowledge economy, based on readings of articles and materials found in the main publications. Thus, from this bibliographic review, a compilation of information was made by important authors in the field, such as: Lodi's material (1968) [27], which analyzes the works of the precursor to the Knowledge Economy, Peter Drucker; Gouveia (2018) [19], who explains several concepts about work relating them to the knowledge economy, in the view of authors such as Lundvall; Karolczak and Souza, (2017) [22] who approach the Human Capital Theory; among other aspects, including the most important and the most related to the researched area, which is the work of Bunchaft and Oliveira Filho (2015) [33] concerning the steps of knowledge in the scope of the recycling industry.…”

Internal Marketing: A tool for the effective Human Capital Management

“…Las organizaciones durante las últimas décadas han experimentado diversas transformaciones, con el propósito de poder sobrellevar las consecuencias del actual mundo globalizado, el mismo que exige una mejora de los niveles de competitividad; dentro de este marco, se resalta el rol del talento o capital humano como un factor clave para elevar la productividad organizacional (Araque et al, 2017;Karolczak y De Souza, 2017). Además, De Morais y Soares (2016) argumentan que para lograr ello, se requiere perfeccionar los sistemas de comunicación, con la finalidad que exista una convivencia armoniosa entre organización, clientes internos (colaboradores) y clientes externos (aquellos que demandan los bienes y servicios generados).…”
