This study attempts to explore the structure of human capital management (HCM) practices in the higher education system of Pakistan. The study does not consider the respondents to be conceptually aware of the concept of HCM, yet the prevailing practice within the HRM system might reflect a transition towards HCM. We collected our data using a selfadministered online questionnaire from 299 employees in the University of Pakistan. The data thus collected were analyzed using an exploratory factor analysis first and then a confirmatory factor analysis to further validate the structure highlighted in the data in the exploratory factor analysis. We found that there does exist a structure that can be related to HCM in the universities of Pakistan. Five components, as such, were highlighted in our analysis though we had initially added seven to the original survey. The component of talent was merged into knowledge and the component of retention was merged into supporting activities. This suggested the relevant correlations between these pairs. Thus, the structure suggests that Pakistani Higher Institutes (HIs) look for talent within education and knowledge rather than any separable aspect of human capital. Moreover, we found the retention is embedded into supporting activities. The study implicitly finds and claims that the mindset towards the implication of HCM is developing and performance evaluation and reward system are being considered as important trends in HIs of Pakistan. The study mainly focused on all the universities of Pakistan. It might be possible that the situation is different in the private and public sector HIs.

<p>La crisis económica de los últimos años ha impactado especialmente en el sector financiero y se ha hecho sentir tanto en el estrés que soportan los empleados de las sucursales de bancos y cajas como en sus niveles de compromiso con la empresa. En este trabajo se analizan los componentes del compromiso laboral en una muestra de 102 trabajadores del sector de la banca confirmándose las dimensiones clásicas del modelo de Allen y Meyer (1996). La relación causal del compromiso con el estrés se testa con un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales dando por resultado que cuanto mayor es el compromiso de la plantilla, menores son los niveles de estrés. Como conclusión se señalan las medidas de gestión del capital humano que podrían mejorar los niveles de compromiso en este sector.</p><p>The economic crisis of recent years has particularly impacted the financial sector. It has been felt in both, the stress endured by employees of banks and the levels of commitment to the company. In this paper the components of employee engagement are analyzed in a sample of 102 workers to confirm the classic dimensions from Allen y Meyer (1996) in banks workers. The causal relationship between employee engagement and stress is tested with a structural equation model. The result is that the higher the commitment of the workforce, the lower the stress levels. In conclusion, proper human capital management could improve engagement levels in the bank sector.</p><h1></h1>

This study is aimed to explore the relationship between Human Resources Management (HRM) and innovation in services and whether such a relationship is mediated by human capital. The data was gathered from the hospitality sector in Jordan. To evaluate the proposed hypotheses, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used via partial modeling of least squares. The research findings provide clear evidence that the Service Innovation of Jordan's hospitality was positively influenced by HRM activities and human resources. The results show many practical and theoretical effects. Results will help the hospitality sector grow creativity in their services by HRM practices and establish proper use of human capital in their employees through innovation cults. This is one of the few studies that studied the relationship between HRM activities and the sufficient of human capital on hospitality in a developing country, Jordan.
