In the global economy, the quantity and quality of human resources possessed by a corporate is a key indicator for its competitiveness. Human resources of firms are playing a ever more important role as firms face with such changes as rapid technological progress and changes in consumer demand.
The Human Capital Corporate Panel Survey(HCCP) has been launched with an object to build up panel data which enables to measure the level of human resources of firms both at the firm level and the worker level as well as to measure the relationship between the level of human resources and the performance of firms.
The HCCP first wave data contain the informations of the 454 firms and 92 establishments and thirteen thousands workers. We clean the data by various error checking methods for several months. And we added financial informations which we got from the company Korea Information Service into the data.
In order to activate using the HCCP data, we convened the first HCCP academic conference. Many researchers attended the conference and had presentations using the data. We try to let the HCCP data be known to domestic and foreign researchers. We repaired the HCCP homepage and made it readable in English. We ended data cleaning, and arranged the survey sheet and layout. Now the HCCP data would be bought in the HCCP homepage.
We gave the services to the firms from which the HCCP data were made, especially HR(human resources) seminar and HR letter on the human resources methods. We have been developing HRI(human resources index). As the HRI will be fully developed, we will calculate each firms HRI score and deliver it with the averages in industry and firm size to guess how high the level of each firm's HR.
We let the researchers and officers look into the first wave survey, and gathered opinions about the survey. On their opinions, we are now fixing the sampling principals and survey questions for second wave. For the second wave survey, we set the network with the Ministry of Labor and the survey company KDN(Korea data network).
