기업의 직업능력개발 투자가 조직성과에미치는 영향: 재무성과와 인적자원성과를 중심으로

This study is designed to empirically investigate the impact of firms's HRD investment on its financial performance and human resources outcomes, using the official and coherent survey data from the '2008 Survey on Vocational Training at Establishments' conducted by the Ministry of Labor. It focuses on the analysis of multi-dimension of HRD practices by involving varied elements such as the HRD participants, training hours and costs reflecting firms' investment on HRD at the workplaces. This study provides some useful insights to the HRD strategies in Korea as follows. First, the HRD investment is positively associated with the gross profit of the Korean companies. Among the three variables this study involved, the ratio of training participants have strong effects on the gross profit, which implies that the government should call the companies to provide more opportunities for all the employees. The HRD investment is higly linked to the positive human resources outcomes. Ratio of training participants, training hours and training costs have positive correlations with ability to work, motivation and work moral, and the prevention of turnover. Among the variables affecting human resources performance, ratio of training participants were found the most influential. From this finding, it can be inferred that providing training opportunities to more workers would product better results in terms of human resource outcomes.
