In the modern business world, human capital
plays a pivotal role in promoting sustainable business and
organizational growth. Through employee performance,
productivity is enhanced leading to profitability. In this
case, private institutions of higher learning in
Mozambique are not an exception. With this in picture, it
is of no doubt that human capital has a greater value to
organizations or companies as the knowledge and skills it
possesses make it the most important resource as
compared to other resources within organizations. The
knowledge and skills enable the human capital to innovate
and create in the operational processes, which make
companies to be competitive in the market. For the human
capital to be able to show its value, institutions should
invest in it through capacity building, total rewarding and
creation of conducive working environment. The results
of the study on the private institutions of higher learning
in the provinces of Maputo and the city of Maputo
support the above considerations.
