Human Capital Theory: Emphasizes the labor costs relative to the return on
investment (i.e., future productivity) for developing employee skills and knowledge
(i.e., education and training); employees own their own human capital; firms seek to
protect themselves from the transfer of their human capital investments to other firms;
investments in the development of generic skills are incurred by workers, whereas
investments in firm-specific training are incurred by the firm.
