Human Capital Management Model and Organizational Effectiveness in China’s Private Universities

Abstract

This research focuses on Human Capital Management (HCM) in Chinese private universities and its impact on Organizational Effectiveness (OE). Utilizing a mixed-methods research design, it integrates both quantitative and qualitative research methods. A total of 400 valid quantitative surveys were collected and analyzed using SPSS and AMOS software. In-depth interviews were held with 15 key managers, and focus groups were conducted with 8 experts for qualitative analysis.

The results of the Structural Equation Model (SEM) indicate that HCM, Knowledge Management, and Job Satisfaction significantly influence OE, with HCM being the most critical factor. The equation OE = 0.883·HCM + 0.864·KM + 0.394·JS + ε supports these connections. These relationships suggest that structured faculty development, effective knowledge sharing, and engagement initiatives are essential for improving OE. However, challenges such as knowledge-sharing gaps highlight the need for AI-driven knowledge management solutions.

Qualitative analysis indicates faculty members value clear career paths, leadership support, and fair performance evaluations. Inconsistent HR policies, unclear compensation, and insufficient research funding contribute to faculty turnover. Based on these findings, a human capital management model (HCM – OE Model) has been proposed. It includes strategic faculty investment, industry-university collaboration, and AI-enabled knowledge storage. This study provides practical policy recommendations for universities. It also suggests future cross-cultural research on HCM models in higher education to understand further their influence on faculty development and institutional long-term competitiveness.
