Purpose Human capital analytics (HCA) is integral to all other human capital processes. With a mature analytics practice, leaders can make better decisions more quickly and with greater confidences. This paper aims to describe results of research that shows how organizations in Middle East countries are investing in HCA. Specifically, it describes as follows: the extent to which they are investing; types of projects in which they are investing; and factors critical to making analytics work. Design/methodology/approach While research may include respondents from organizations in developing countries, only recently have efforts been made to monitor progress specifically in these countries. This paper attempts to describe the most recent findings of such research, paying specific attention to the use of HCA in the Middle East. Findings Organizations in the Middle East embrace HCA. While still in its infancy, analytics is poised to be a strategic driver that will lead to improved organizational performance. Originality/value Whether investing in leadership development, talent acquisition, employee engagement or talent development, analytics plays a central role in informing decisions about people investments. To make HCA work, Middle East organizations plan to continue building capability through training; embracing technology and striving to link data across programs and platforms; and integrating systems, processes and people with other functions, particularly finance. In the end, organizations will seamlessly integrate HCA into all processes to drive organization performance.

Purpose This paper aims to describes how properly designed and executed leadership development can make a difference, an approach the authors call intentional development. Design methodology/approach By building unique connections among recent advancements in human capital management and neuroscience, this paper proposes the components that any organization can use to significantly improve the return on their investment in leadership development. Findings It is estimated that US companies spend over US$13bn annually on leadership development. Match that number to the abundant research that finds most leadership development to be ineffective, and the conclusion is a phenomenal amount of waste. The situation does not need to be that dire. Originality/value Following the practices of yesterday are not sufficient to build leaders needed for now and the future. It is time to retool leadership development.

<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>

Technological advancement in the 21st century has unlocked possibilities in all spheres of existence. Lately, with the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic, the workplace has been transformed, and businesses are operating in unchartered waters. A human resource management information system is believed to guarantee a more efficient and effective way of managing human capital in organizations. However, its implementation has not effectively transformed from the manual method of running the human resource functions. Many organizations are, therefore, still stuck with the traditional way of managing human capital. On this basis, this study sought to establish the effectiveness of recruitment information systems in human capital management. The study was anchored on the resource-based theory of the firm and used a cross-sectional research design with a target population of 458 employees. A sample size of 213 respondents was determined while stratified and simple random sampling techniques were adopted to select the respondents for the study. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain primary data from the respondents. The reliability of the questionnaire was tested through a pilot study where an average Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.89 was obtained. The validity of the questionnaire was ensured by doing a detailed literature review and consultation with subject experts. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) were used to summarize data, while correlation analysis was used to test the study's hypothesis. Results were presented using tables. The findings established that recruitment information systems had a strong positive relationship (R = 0.873, β1 = 0.518, R2 = 0.762, p = 0.05) with human capital management, indicating that James Finlay Limited should invest more in Recruitment information systems. The study recommended that the company improve the recruitment information system to enhance the job interview process and improve the system to allow efficiency in tracking job applications and appointment processes.

This paper explores various linkages between knowledge management (KM) and human capital management (HCM) in the context of developing leadership and management capabilities to support sustainability. Based on the prevailing literature, a framework linking human resource management (HRM), KM and HCM is applied to the development of leadership and management capabilities to support sustainability. The framework identifies ways to promote sustainability through creating effective links between KM and HCM by which organizations can develop their leadership and management capabilities to support sustainability across business, environmental and social justice contexts. This approach provides managers with a framework for addressing sustainability issues and for developing individual and organizational capabilities to support sustainability through KM and HCM practices.
