Administración de recursos humanos vs. Gestión del capital humano. Diferencias, coincidencias y contradicciones.

This paper shows an evolutionary description of the concepts that converge in personnel management in organizations from approaches that start the management or management of personnel known as Human Resources Management (hrm) to what today is now known as Human Capital Management (hcm). The aim is to review some coincidences, differences and contradictions in the main approaches of these approaches depending on the type of organization and workers that integrate it, to avoid in some way, the polysemy to which we are accustomed in the discipline of management, particularly in the role dedicated to the personnel optimization in organizations. Therefore, this paper aims to answer the following questions: What is the difference between the concepts of Human Resources Management and Human Capital Management? Do these approaches pursue the same purposes? Are the type of labor relations and the Mexican education system appropriate for both approaches? What are the theoretical reasons for differentiated use of these terms? How are these terms used in the Mexican context?. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
