From Possibility to Realization: The Central Role of Human Resources in Making Things Happen

Abstract

Human resources are a unique resource, a capital, and a strategic driver. Among all organizational resources, human resources occupy a unique and irreplaceable position. While financial, technological, informational, and material resources make the achievement of organizational goals possible, it is human resources that convert these possibilities into realization. This paper introduces and elaborates a critical conceptual distinction: possibility versus happening. Drawing from theories such as Resource-Based View, Human Capital Theory, System Theory, and Agency Theory, philosophical reasoning, and illustrative analogies, this article establishes the superior role of human resources in transforming possibility into happening. The argument reinforces the strategic importance of Human Resource Management as the primary enabler of organizational success.
