現有研究顯示， 透過喚新現有人才庫，運用擁有人力資本，社會資本和政治資本的新員工可以提高組織營運結果。本研究採用人力資本理論，探討了高等教育水平的員工對三種企業績效結果的影響，包含銷售收入增長，財務收益和出口表現。此研究是經由分析從2015年及2017年的同樣293家公司所採集組成的數據。研究結果顯示，教育程度較高的員工比例對組織銷售收入增長和經濟收益有積極的影響。另一方面，教育程度較高的員工比例與公司層面的出口外銷表現呈負相關。

Organizational outcomes can be improved by the revitalization of current talent pools with new employees obtaining human capital, social capitals and political capital. Adopted from human capital theory, this study explored the influence of employees with higher education levels on three organizational outcomes: sales revenue growth, financial gain, and export performance. The analysis was conducted through analyzing data that consists of the same 293 firms from 2015 and 2017. The results suggest that the ratio of employees with higher education levels within a firm have positive effects on organizational sales revenue growth and financial gain. On the other hand, the ratio of employees with higher education levels within a firm is negatively related to export performance.
