AB Despite the increasing academic interest, the human resource management formulationprocess still remains unclear. Building on human capital and talent management literatures,this study investigates how top management teams identify critical human resources. Theproposed model explores how top management teams’ ability to identify core employees isconditioned by two human capital attributes of their members (cognitive skills and value orientation).The empirical analysis developed confirms the influence of human capital. Nevertheless,results only provide partial support to our hypotheses, showing that the identification of criticalhuman resources is more complex than theoretically assumed. The estimation of the proposedmodel shows that, to efficiently develop this process, top management teams require the combinationof rational and creative skills, as well as a collectivistic orientation. The implicationsof this conclusion for both academics and practitioners are discussed in the paper, as well asthe limitations of the study.
