The Exploration of Human Resource from the Supply-Demand Core Competence to its Suitability: A Resource-Based Theory Perspective

This main study explores resource-based theory as a perspective to exam whether the professional and basic capabilities of college education can provide and then fit the need the human resource core competence of firms. Using 200 managers of Taiwanese firms by Multi-Hierarchical Regression as statistical tools, this study significantly shows by: while the college education can provide students with these two capabilities, these capabilities can fit the firms’ needs of the core competence, under the consideration of firms and college cooperation as industry-school exchange to raise the development of these capabilities of these students. This suggests that when the colleges give its academic training for the students to these two capabilities, these capabilities match the firms’ demand for their need of human resources. The rationale reason could be: when we consider the component of core competence as creative force, learning ability, and practical experience, the processes of the academic particular programs and the college-firm collaboration can help enhance the student from a labor force to human resource, increasing an employment rate based on a better contribution to firms.
