ABSTRACT
This paper presents a discussion on the role of human resource capacity in influencing the economic growth of Heavy Commercial Transport Industry in Mombasa. The findings are based on a study of ten (10) firms with a fleet of fifty (50) or more commercial vehicles which realized economic growth in the period 2008 to 2011. The results showed that the human resource base has not been fully maximized in efforts to bring about economic growth of the HCTI firms in Mombasa. Factors considered include the procedures of hiring and firing of employees, respect for quality of work, room for professional development, promotion procedures and use of job placement to enhance economic growth.
