 Abstract:

Good quality human resource plays an important role in the social development in general and business organizations in particular. To gain a competitive advantage through quality human resource, it is required to clearly capture what factors affecting the quality from both macro and micro perspectives. This paper presents a part of the findings from our current project in identifying the determinants of human resource quality in Dong Nai industrial parks; specifically, only macro factors, including central government, local government, and the socio-economic environment are investigated in this paper. Among them, the socio-economic environment has the strongest impact and the central government is ranked 2nd. It is also found that education and training system as part of the central government plays an important role in human resource quality because it provides knowledge and skills for the workforce to effectively work in practice.
