The indicators of human capital for financial institutions

This study examines indicators of measurement and relative weights on key competency in the financial profession. In addition, the study functions as a reference for training in economic, academic, and financial circles. The findings demonstrate that attitude is relatively the most important construct for professional core competency in the financial professions. Industrial and academic circles suggest that continuous learning is the most important indicator of measurement on key competency. According to industrial circles, secondary indicators are work experience and emotional stability; academia suggests that secondary indicators are emotional stability and problem solving skills.
