Abstract
Identification of human resources as a pivotal component of an organization’s survival is fundamental to
understanding its application to the organisation’s sustainability. It is however, observed that most training
organized by organizations are not physically strong, hence, lacking the stamina to endure strain, which
may be attributed to their level of awareness of the significance of human capacity development on
organizational productivity. This research is therefore, aimed at analysing the influence of human capital
development on organizational productivity; to achieve this aim, the researchers assessed the relationship
between human capital development and organizational productivity, which identifies the role of human
capital development in fostering innovation within the organizations. The researcher also evaluated the
impact of human capacity development on engagement and retention; it further investigated the collective
influence of Training, Development and Education on organizational productivity. Descriptive design
research was adopted. The sample population comprises staff, both teaching and non-teaching at Lagos
State University. A structured questionnaire was used to collect information from the respondents. The
research instrument was randomly distributed to the sample population, and inferential statistical tool
(regression) was adopted to analyse the earlier proposed hypotheses. The findings have established
beyond any reasonable doubt the significance of human capital development on organization productivity.
Investing in the training, development, and education of employees can yield significant gains for
organizations across multiple dimensions. Human capital development is a critical lever for driving
organizational success and productivity.
