The Interdependence Between Human Capital and Organizational Performance in Higher Education

This paper aims to study the interdependence between human capital and organizational performance in universities. The compatibility between person and organization is encompassed in a research aimed to analyze the element of human capital in an organization, respectively the training and competences, expertise and experience and creativity and innovation. Considering the fact that universities are more and more interested in attracting and maintaining the most adequate personnel, able to obtain performances, the compatibility person-organization remains an open road in the researchers’ attention, since the individuals who want to join an organization will choose those organizations that are a match for them and have a compatible organizational culture. Success in a higher education organization depends on people's capacity of adapting themselves to the rapid rhythm of change and of assimilating the modern strategies. The paper demonstrates that the most important change in higher education and especially in higher education organizations is the human one: the change in people's attitudes, values, beliefs and feelings.
