After a long period of neglect, the issue of human resources for health (HRH) has recently emerged as a core component on the international health agenda, with policy makers increasingly eager to learn from experience elsewhere. This article investigates systematically the opportunities and challenges associated with the use of cross-national comparisons of HRH policies and practices. It reviews the evidence in favour of using international comparative studies on HRH, discusses emerging opportunities for developing a cross-national research agenda to guide HRH policies in Europe, and highlights obstacles which may hinder the implementation of comparative studies on HRH. While demonstrating many opportunities offered by the comparative approach to improve understanding of human resources processes in the health sector, this article also emphasizes the dangers of simplistic pleas for the transfer of human resource policies without taking into account the context-specific factors and the generative capacity of the social actors in the design and implementation of policy changes.

The purpose of this paper is to study the impact of the Human Resources Development (HRD) on the performance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Kosovo. There is a large volume of research that support the positive relationship between HRD and the organizational performance. Most of such research was conducted in the developed countries and to a lesser extent in the developing countries (countries in transit). Through this study we confirmed the impact of the investments in various forms of HRD in the performance of the SMEs in Kosovo. This study provides empirical data that support the impact of training and development, career development and motivation of employees on organizational performance, but the results of this study do not support the impact of the education of entrepreneurs on the organizational performance.

This study examined the impact of human resources development on economic growth in Nigeria from 1980 to 2019. To achieve this objective, data were collected on the real gross domestic product, government expenditure on education, government expenditure on health and human development index from Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical bulletin, World Bank -World Development Indicator and UNDP. The study adopted the Augmented Dickey-Fuller unit root test, Johansen Co-integration test and Error Correction Mechanism (ECM) methods of econometric to analyse the collected data. Evidence from the findings revealed that all the variables were individually integrated of Order One and have a long-run relationship. The parsimonious ECM result revealed that an increase in government expenditure on education, government expenditure on health, as well as human development index, do not significantly increase economic growth in Nigeria during the period of study. The study concluded that human resources development via public spending in the education sector, health sector, as well as an increase in human development index remains crucial in the process of achieving sustainable economic growth in Nigeria. Based on these findings, the study recommended among others that crucial effort should be made by the government in channelling more funds to the health sector in order to improve health standards and reduce the mortality rate of the citizens since a healthy population and workforce is a major ingredient for rapid and sustainable productivity and growth. Enough funds should be allocated to education for proper utilization of potential productive and social benefits that will help to boost the real sector of the economy.

This research is aiming at discussing the benefits of learning English and Japanese languages simultaneously to cross-cultural competency. This article is also having a further discussion about the human resources development benefits gained from learning the two languages and cultures. English and Japanese are two languages that are famous as foreign languages for international business. It is because The United States, Japan, and the major economic forces of Western Europe are developed countries whose infrastructures and well-established financial markets are conducive to the operation and potential success of multinational corporations (MNCs). This study is a qualitative study with explanatory research as its method. The data gained by analyzing the perceptions drawn from the existing literature of various scholars documented in journals and books connected to Japanese and English languages, as well as human resources development issues. The results showed that learning Japanese and English simultaneously is also a good method in teaching the worker or students that will work in an international setting in having the comprehension of cross-cultural issues in general. The differences of those languages in terms of culture such as direct and indirect behavior in speaking, personal address system, and polite speech will become an example of understanding two different foreign language categories: high and low context cultures.
