From the Paper:

"Resources such as capital, assets, and other material things relevant to the company cannot guarantee the organization's success and sustainability. Rather, in order to have a successful and progressive organization, it should be able to have the most basic component needed to ensure success- the productive manpower.
"Productive manpower refers to a set of effective employees- both leaders/managers and the staff. These people are characterized as those who share a common goal- to fully develop the company, make it achieve its full potentials, and live by its perspectives and missions, while satisfying their personal needs and goals as well. Moreover, an effective manpower will help the company in its quest to continuously adapt to the changing demands of the society from time to time."
