Journal Title: Zarządzanie i Finanse - Year 2012, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper presents different definitions of human capital in the Polish and foreign literature. It also tries to explain the basic elements of structure of human capital. Moreover, the differences and the link between understanding a ‘human capital’ by scientists and managers of firms is presented. The object of study was the medium and large-sized construction enterprises from the Podlaskie voivodship. The empirical research shows that there aren’t a lot of differences which the definition of human capital is explained by between managers of firms. The most important qualities of managers are education, experience, knowledge, motivation and commitment. However, the research reveals the lack of these important managerial features in construction companies. It means the firms should take the initiative to recruit, develop and support their employees.
