Abstract

The study's overarching goal was to investigate the relationship between HEIs' success and their attention to cultivating their human capital. Any college or institution worth its salt will recognize that its students are its most valuable asset and treat them as such. This survey-based study was both descriptive and inferential in character. A total of 313 male and female students were used to compile the data. In order to gauge students' awareness of human capital development and HEI performance, the researcher gathered data from a variety of University of Okara departments. After reviewing the available literature, we created the research scale. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to examine the data. Human capital development was found to significantly impact HEIs' viability. The findings highlighted the need for improved human capital development practices inside academic institutions. It is suggested that HEIs use effective Human Capital Development Practices to improve the quality of their programs and align with international benchmarks.
