Summary/Abstract: This article discusses current trends in the literature of Knowledge Management and psychology regarding the role of staff in improving the effectiveness of the organization. In recent years on the basis of Resources Based View (RBV) (Barney, 1991), there is a rapid convergence between the this two research directions, in particular on the role played by personal and cognitive characteristics of employee involved in improving the effectiveness and the market position of companies. Methodology and Findings: Discussing contemporary literature, this text indicates current trends in research on the potential mobilization of personnel and possible directions of development of both disciplines. The article also indicates the areas where the both group of researchers can combine their scientific interest in the role of incentive systems, training and social enterprise in building a strategy - that is in the domain of strategic human resource management (SHRM). Values: The objectives of current HR tasks are much more ambitious than those in classic HR and are focused on solving four kinds of problems: 1) How to use inner potential of employees to cope with changes and creating innovations?; 2) How to increase this potential?; 3) How to use the group processes for solving organizational dilemmas?, and 4) How to put human and social capital for fulfilling strategic goals, and especially how to improve market position and financial stability using this potential? Strategic human resource management (SHRM) might be the answer to this questions.
