Abstract :
This research tested the effects of human resource (HR) investment through human capital (HC) to hi-tech firm´s performance. Eleven hypotheses of relations among HR investment, HC and hi-tech firm´s performance are proposed in the article. The research used a sample of Chinese hi-tech firms. A variance analysis indicated that HR investment is significantly related to higher level of HC in a hi-tech firm, and HR investment is indirectly related to overall hi-tech firm performance through firm-level HC.
