International HRM as an enabler in human capital development: A Saudi Arabian case study
conference contribution
posted on 2023-05-23, 08:06 authored by Hecker, R, Almutairi, S, Holland, PUsing the human resource development and international human resource management literature this study examines the effects of international training on the development of human capital in a developing country. A survey of 200 Saudi Arabian students studying internationally found that despite the comparatively generous nature of funding and support while studying, the lack of pre-departure training resulted in less than optimum outcomes as did the uncertainty associate with return from some assignments. Developing human capital using sovereign wealth is a worthwhile objective for any country but planning should understand the imperatives from many decades of research in international human resource management.
