While the field of strategic human capital (SHC) was created as a platform for dialogue between economics-based strategy researchers and psychology-based human resources (HR) researchers, it has increasingly become dominated by the economics-based logic. This paper argues that while such logic is not wrong, it is incomplete. By ignoring aspects of human nature such as free will, identity, meaning/purpose, community, and intrinsic value, it has unnecessarily limited the phenomenon to be studied and the research questions to be asked. I describe these concepts and how they might expand the SHC literature's view of determinants of employees' behavior, particularly their choices to invest in human capital. Finally, I discuss implications for research questions that might bridge the economics and psychology perspectives.

虽然战略人力资本 (SHC) 领域是作为基于经济学的战略研究人员和基于心理学的人力资源 (HR) 研究人员之间对话的平台而创建的，但它越来越被基于经济学的逻辑所主导。本文认为，这种逻辑虽然没有错，但并不完整。由于忽视了人性的一些方面，例如自由意志、身份、意义/目的、社区和内在价值，它不必要地限制了要研究的现象和要提出的研究问题。我描述了这些概念以及它们如何扩展 SHC 文献对员工行为决定因素的看法，特别是他们对人力资本投资的选择。最后，我讨论了可能在经济学和心理学观点之间架起桥梁的研究问题的影响。
