Training and Development
1. INTRODUCTION
In the era of globalization and rapid technological advancements, the knowledge economy has emerged as a crucial driver
of economic progress. This shift emphasizes the primacy of knowledge and information over traditional resources like natural
reserves or manual labor. Human resources are now viewed as knowledge bearers, necessitating the urgent development of
modern management skills. Information technologies are pivotal in this landscape, requiring continuous education and self-
improvement to manage them effectively. The integration of information technology in enterprise management, particularly in
human resource management models, has seen significant advancements, propelled by the technological revolution and
globalization. Ultimately, the quality of human resources is paramount for sustainable development in a knowledge-based
economy.
To effectively analyze and enhance management skills in the knowledge economy, it is crucial to consider factors such as
generic skills for employability (Bejinaru, 2013), the transformation of knowledge management in response to the digital economy
(Roshchin et al., 2022), and the development of cloud computing skills to promote knowledge application (Sadik & Albahiri, 2020).
Additionally, focusing on essential skills like basic knowledge, communication, digital proficiency, vocational skills, and leadership
is vital for educational institutions to align their programs with the needs of the knowledge economy (Belooshi & Ma'amari, 2020).
Understanding how students acquire entrepreneurial skills within the context of a knowledge economy is also essential for shaping
training programs (Bejinaru, 2018). By synthesizing these perspectives, businesses and training institutions can tailor their
approaches to improve human resource quality and meet the dynamic demands of the labor market.
This research hopes to improve human resource quality and promote economic development - a knowledge economy - in
Vietnam by focusing on training and developing modern management skills.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1. Concept of the knowledge economy
As defined by Snellman (2004), the knowledge economy is characterized by knowledge-intensive activities that contribute
to rapid technical and scientific progress, acknowledging the swift obsolescence that characterizes this environment. (Alhasadi &
Demirel, 2020). It also highlights the role of knowledge-intensive activities in accelerating technological advancements within the
economy. (Asongu & Kuada, 2020) Emphasize that in a knowledge economy, economic prosperity is intricately linked to the quality,
quantity, and accessibility of information available rather than traditional means of production.
Furthermore, (Menezes et al., 2021) underscore the essence of intellectual capacities in the knowledge economy,
emphasizing that raw materials are no longer limited to physical resources but encompass immaterial and non-consumable

resources. (Muhammad, Ali, & Iliya, 2015) Further reinforce this perspective by highlighting how knowledge drives economic
growth, employment, and wealth creation in a knowledge-based economy.
In essence, the knowledge economy represents a transformative phase in which knowledge, innovation, and information
are the primary drivers of economic development and prosperity. It signifies a departure from traditional production-centric
models and a more dynamic and knowledge-driven approach to fostering growth and competitiveness.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) further elaborates on the concept, describing
knowledge-based economies as fundamentally reliant on producing, distributing, and utilizing knowledge and information (Gangi,
2017). This definition aligns with the notion that in a knowledge-based economy, knowledge serves as a primary driver of
economic progress, employment generation, and wealth creation (Muhammad et al., 2015).
Moreover, the literature underscores that a knowledge-based economy is distinguished by its heavy reliance on intellectual
capital in economic production (Husna, 2023). This shift towards intellectual capabilities over physical inputs or natural resources
is a defining feature of such economies (Yokhaneh & Baghoumian, 2014). Additionally, the role of universities in fostering a
knowledge-based economy is highlighted, emphasizing their importance as critical players in advancing modern economies (Salem,
2014).
The literature emphasizes the critical role of reflective teaching in enhancing instructional delivery within a knowledge-based
economy, particularly in the context of education, particularly technical and vocational training (Oviawe, 2020). This underscores
the importance of pedagogical approaches that align with the requirements of an economy driven by knowledge and innovation.
The knowledge economy represents a transformative stage in economic development where knowledge and information
are paramount. It underscores the critical role of education, training, and intellectual assets in driving productivity, economic
growth, and value creation.
2.2. Human resources in the knowledge economy
In the context of the knowledge economy, human resources play a pivotal role in driving sustainability and business success
(Zubović et al., 2015). This shift towards a knowledge-based economy has highlighted the significance of human capital over
traditional physical and financial resources (Veselinović et al., 2022). Companies operating in competitive markets rely heavily on
the organization and management of human resources to maintain competitiveness (Zubović et al., 2015). The sustainable
development of nations in a knowledge-based economy is intricately linked to the quality and development of human resources
(Kojić et al., 2020). As the nature of work evolves in the contemporary economy, personal resources have emerged as a critical
factor in enhancing job engagement for knowledge workers (Toth et al., 2019).
In the era of the digital economy, enterprise competitiveness is closely tied to effective human resource management
practices (Liao & Zhang, 2022). The knowledge economy presents vast opportunities as human creativity and capacity for
innovation are considered limitless resources (Eftimoski & Milenkovski, 2012). Organizations striving to achieve their goals require
competent, knowledgeable, and productive human resources to drive performance and success (Nursiani et al., 2023). In a
knowledge economy, knowledge is the primary resource, and the innovation capacity of employees serves as a critical competitive
advantage (Drašković et al., 2020). This emphasis on intellectual capabilities over physical inputs characterizes the essence of a
knowledge economy (Powell & Snellman, 2004).
Technological progress in a knowledge economy underscores the critical role played by human resources in driving
innovation and economic growth (Csugány, 2018). The transition toward knowledge economies necessitates a shift toward
intellectual capabilities as the primary driver of success (Abu-Shawish et al., 2021). The interplay between knowledge, human
capital, and economic growth is evident in developing countries, where investments in R&D, human resources, and technology
diffusion are crucial for progress (Poorfaraj & Keshavarz, 2011). Initiatives like the Human Resource Development Council aim to
enhance labor productivity, technology transfer, and innovation through lifelong learning and skill development (Awang et al.,
2010).
The concept of human capital has long been recognized as a fundamental element influencing innovation, technology
adoption, and overall economic prosperity (Madariaga, 2022). The transformation towards a knowledge economy underscores
the need for advanced skills, continuous learning, and a focus on intellectual capabilities to thrive in a competitive global landscape.
In this paradigm, human resources are a support function and a strategic asset that drives organizational success and sustainability.
The ability to attract, develop, and retain top talent becomes a critical differentiator for companies seeking to excel in the
knowledge economy.
2.3. Modern management skills
In the realm of the knowledge economy, modern management skills have evolved to encompass a diverse array of elements
crucial for organizational success. The interplay between strategic thinking and competitive advantage is a focal point in the
Human Resources in the Knowledge Economy: Training and Developing Modern Management Skills

research (Dixit et al., 2021). The study establishes a direct link between creativity, corporate culture, knowledge management,
and strategic thinking, showcasing how these factors synergistically contribute to gaining a competitive edge in the market. This
connection underscores the strategic importance of cultivating a conducive environment that nurtures creativity, values
knowledge management, and fosters a culture that supports strategic thinking. Additionally, (Gross, 2017) explores the
relationship between innovative behavior and strategic thinking, emphasizing strategic thinking as a dynamic capability that serves
as a competitive tool. By understanding the factors influencing strategic thinking, organizations can harness this capability to drive
innovation and maintain a competitive edge in dynamic market environments.
Emotional intelligence, another critical aspect of modern management skills, has garnered significant attention in the
literature. Studies by (Lysytsia et al., 2020) and (Halder, 2023) delve into emotional intelligence's gender-specific and sector-
specific implications in HR management and managerial effectiveness, respectively. These studies highlight how emotional
intelligence can influence decision-making, conflict resolution, and overall managerial effectiveness, underscoring its relevance in
contemporary management practices. Furthermore, the research by (Anjum et al., 2015) emphasizes the cultural implications of
emotional intelligence, showcasing how emotionally intelligent managers are more inclined towards engaging in innovative
entrepreneurial activities. This cultural perspective underscores the universal relevance of emotional intelligence in driving
managerial success and organizational innovation.
Emotional intelligence is crucial in shaping organizational dynamics and leadership effectiveness in educational leadership.
Amelia (2021) explores the impact of emotional intelligence management on leadership quality, emphasizing how emotional
intelligence skills can enhance leadership capabilities and contribute to organizational goal attainment. This underscores the
multifaceted influence of emotional intelligence on leadership effectiveness across diverse organizational contexts.
The evolving landscape of the knowledge economy necessitates a nuanced understanding of modern management skills,
encompassing elements such as emotional intelligence, strategic thinking, and data-driven decision-making. By integrating insights
from reputable sources, it is evident that modern managers must possess a diverse skill set to navigate complex organizational
challenges, foster innovation, and drive sustainable competitive advantage. Emotional intelligence and strategic thinking are
pivotal to modern management skills, shaping managerial effectiveness, organizational performance, and leadership quality in
diverse contexts. As organizations strive to thrive in the knowledge economy, cultivating these skills among managers becomes
imperative for long-term success and strategic growth.
2.4. Human resource training and development
Human resource training and development are crucial in enhancing an organization's competitiveness in the knowledge
economy. The studies by (Chalise, 2020), (Nwali & Adekunle, 2021), and (Binh, 2021) underscore the critical role of human resource
development in enhancing productivity, efficiency, and institutional governance. They emphasize that organizations must invest
in training and development to stay abreast of industry best practices and remain competitive globally.
Furthermore, research by Burrichter et al. (2022) highlights the importance of modern technology in human resource
management for sustainable development. Leveraging technology in human resource management is essential for organizational
success and growth in the current business landscape.
The synthesis of these references underscores the vital role of human resource training and development in improving
organizational competitiveness in the knowledge economy. Organizations can enhance productivity, efficiency, and overall
performance by aligning training programs with business needs, leveraging technology, and investing in employee development,
thereby gaining a competitive edge in the global market.
2.5. Modern management skills training and development model
In modern management skills training and development, following a structured model encompassing various vital stages is
imperave. One of the widely recognized models in training and human resource development is the ADDIE model, which stands
for Analysis, Design, Development, Implementaon, and Evaluaon. This model provides a systemac framework for designing
and implemenng eecve training programs (Sayed & Agha, 2015).
Moreover, Kirkpatrick and Kirkpatrick (2006) shed light on evaluang training eecveness through dierent levels. They
propose a four-level model for training evaluaon, which includes Reacon, Learning, Behavioral, and Results. This model allows
organizaons to assess not only the immediate reacons of parcipants to the training but also the extent of knowledge and skills
acquired, the applicaon of these skills in the workplace, and the overall impact of the training on organizaonal outcomes. By
incorporang these evaluaon levels, organizaons can understand the eecveness of their training programs and make informed
decisions for future training iniaves (Alsalamah & Callinan, 2021).
While the Kirkpatrick model has been widely used for training evaluaon, Cahapay (2021) points out some limitaons of its
applicaon in higher educaon evaluaon. The historical context of the Kirkpatrick model was to aid managers in systemacally
Human Resources in the Knowledge Economy: Training and Developing Modern Management Skills
IJMRA, Volume 07 Issue 07 July 2024 www.ijmra.in Page 3263
accounng for outcomes among employees and organizaonal systems. However, in the context of higher educaon, where the
goals and outcomes may dier, the model's applicability may be constrained. This highlights the importance of considering training
programs' specic context and objecves when selecng an evaluaon model (Cahapay, 2021).
In a praccal applicaon of training needs assessment, Jiyenze et al. (2023) conducted a study to idenfy the actual training
needs in Tanzania related to health management, leadership, and governance capacies. Through themac analysis and qualitave
research, the study aimed to determine the expressed training needs of health managers, essenal competencies for managerial
roles, and topics crucial for management, leadership, and governance training. This approach underscores the importance of
conducng thorough needs assessments to tailor training programs to the specic requirements of the target audience (Jiyenze et
al., 2023).
Sahni (2020) delved into assessing managerial training eecveness using the Kirkpatrick framework. By invesgang the
impact of managerial training through the lens of the Kirkpatrick model, the study aimed to evaluate the training program's
eecveness in enhancing managerial skills and knowledge. This research contributes to the body of knowledge on evaluang
training outcomes and underscores the value of using established models like Kirkpatrick for assessing training eecveness (Sahni,
2020).
In the context of developing countries like Ecuador, it highlighted the need to assess stascal knowledge and training needs
among business professionals. The study emphasized the importance of equipping business managers with the necessary stascal
skills to support decision-making processes eecvely. This underscores the signicance of idenfying and addressing specic skill
gaps through targeted training intervenons to enhance managerial capabilies in diverse sengs (Mosquera-Guerres, 2024).
It furthermore explored kindergarten teachers' percepons of management training issues and needs. The study revealed
that teachers viewed management training as a crical factor for eecveness and expressed a preference for a combinaon of
introductory and periodic training organized by educaonal instuons and policy bodies. This underscores the importance of
understanding the perspecves and preferences of training parcipants when designing and delivering management training
programs (Παναγιωτόπουλος et al., 2019).
Glomb et al. (2018) conducted a needs assessment for simulaon training for prehospital providers in Botswana, focusing on
improving assessment and clinical management skills in high-risk situaons. The study demonstrated the eecveness of
simulaon-based training in enhancing providers' skills, parcularly in challenging scenarios. This highlights the value of ulizing
innovave training methods like simulaon to address specic skill requirements in specialized elds such as emergency medical
services (Glomb et al., 2018).
Vishwakarma and Tyagi (2017) examined the post-reform training needs of frontline managers in Indian power distribuon
companies. By assessing managers' percepons of training-related factors such as clarity, budget, scheduling, and resource
availability, the study aimed to idenfy areas for improvement in training programs. This research underscores the importance of
aligning training iniaves with frontline managers' specic needs and expectaons to enhance their performance and
eecveness in their roles (Vishwakarma & Tyagi, 2017).
In a healthcare seng, Omondi (2020) invesgated the inuence of training programs on the performance of health workers
at Kakamega County General Hospital. The study ulized purposive and straed sampling methods to assess the impact of training
on dierent categories of health workers. By evaluang the relaonship between training programs and performance outcomes,
the research aimed to provide insights into the eecveness of training intervenons in improving healthcare delivery. This
highlights the crical role of training in enhancing the skills and performance of healthcare professionals (Omondi, 2020).
Overall, the synthesis of these studies underscores the importance of structured training models, comprehensive needs
assessments, and rigorous evaluaon mechanisms in designing praccal management skills training and development programs.
By incorporang elements such as training needs assessment, program design, implementaon, and evaluaon, organizaons can
ensure that their training iniaves are targeted, impacul, and aligned with the specic requirements of their workforce and
organizaonal goals. Addionally, using established evaluaon models like the Kirkpatrick model enables organizaons to measure
the eecveness of training programs across dierent levels and make data-driven decisions to enhance training outcomes and
organizaonal performance.
The literature review indicates that human resources in the knowledge economy need to be equipped with specialized
knowledge and modern management skills. Connuous training and development are crucial to ensure that the workforce can
meet the increasingly demanding requirements of the economy. Eecve training models and the integraon of technology with
tradional training methods will enhance the quality of human resources, thereby contribung to the sustainable development of
businesses and the economy.

evolution. (Wang, 2024) delves into the impact of employees on enterprise development within innovative and entrepreneurial
enterprises, stressing their critical role in driving organizational success.
Strategic human resource management is crucial in addressing business challenges and long-term objectives, as discussed
(Alsaadat, 2019). It also highlights the increasing demand for digital skills in HR, aligning with the need for digitalization in the field.
Additionally, Sutrisno (2024) points out the crucial role of human resources in the success of digital business strategy
implementation, especially in SMEs.
The relationship between strategic thinking and strategic human resource management is evident in the works (Alomari,
2020) and (Bahrampour et al., 2021), emphasizing the importance of good HR management in enhancing company skills and values.
Furthermore, (Parsehyan, 2020) discusses how HR management can contribute to organizational innovation through mechanisms
that drive change.
The literature supports the notion that in the knowledge economy, modern human resource management skills, particularly
digital skills, strategic thinking, and flexible leadership abilities, play a pivotal role in enhancing organizational productivity,
efficiency, and innovation.
3.2. Meaning and praccal applicaons
In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, training and developing modern management skills are crucial for businesses
to maintain competitiveness and adapt to market changes (Alabdulaziz et al., 2022). Training programs should prioritize enhancing

Background and Aim Effective management, leadership, and governance (MLG) contribute to improved population health outcomes. However, weak management, leadership, and governance capacity continue to haunt many health systems in low‐ and‐middle‐income countries (LMICs). Capacity strengthening through training of health system managers is among the strategies to address the latter challenge. However, the actual needs for MLG training remain unestablished in many LMICs. The main objective of this study was to assess the training needs for MLG among health managers in Tanzania Mainland. Methods We employed a mixed methods approach and convergent mixed methods study design to establish MLG training needs among health managers. In March 2019, quantitative data were collected by administering a questionnaire to a quantitative sample of 156 health managers working in 14 councils and seven regions. We used semi‐structured interviews to collect qualitative data from a qualitative sample of 35 health managers. We used descriptive statistical technique and thematic analysis to analyse quantitative and qualitative data, respectively. Results The main findings of this study show that: 152 (97%) health managers and all 35 interviewees said that there was a need for training health managers on MLG; 31 out of the 33 proposed MLG competencies were rated as important by the health managers; and a list of 35 general topics and 19 priority topics were suggested by the health managers for inclusion in future MLG training. Conclusion Our research has generated useful empirical evidence indicating the needs for training health managers on MLG in terms of expressed needs, important competencies, and topics. Policymakers and training developers should use the evidence to develop training programs to address identified needs. Future training needs studies on management and leadership should use observational and diary methods to collect data on the competencies of health managers.
