【 摘 要 】

ABSTRACT: THE SOCIETY OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT & PRODUCTIVIY: ADDRESSING THE PRIVATE SECTOR SKILLS GAP IN CAMBODIA’S MIDDLE AND SENIOR LEVEL MANAGEMENTThe ASEAN Economic Community is set to come into full effect by the end of 2015. What this means is that there will be a free flow of skilled labor throughout the 10 ASEAN member states. For Cambodia, a country that is already facing a major skills gap, especially with its middle and senior level management, it will have to compete with skilled labor from 9 member states. Policy and political analysis will be used to examine data from publications in major newspapers in Cambodia and abroad, research from the major think tanks, international organizations, non-government organizations, conferences, surveys, and websites from Ministries of The Royal Government of Cambodia, in order to see whether funding a private training will address the skills gap in middle to senior level management. The results show mixed support and opposition for funding a private training company to train other businesses since many companies already have training departments. At the same time, small and medium enterprises still lack the capacity have their own training departments, and would benefit from training services. Despite the pros and cons for funding a private company to train middle to senior level managers, it is evident that training is needed. Although the effects of training cannot be easily measured, studies show that investing in training has a positive impact on the company and its net profits. Funding is necessary by the government in order to bolster support especially for small and medium enterprises that cannot afford training for their middle and senior level managers.
