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, P
Using 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.
