The main objective was to deepen the research of the psychosocial aspects of resources and human capital in organizations, sharing knowledge between researchers from national and international universities and promoting the transfer of this knowledge to the current socio-economic environment. Most of the research papers that were presented at the conference come from the Interuniversity Doctorate Program in Human Resources Psychology by the universities of Seville and Valencia (RD 2011) directed by Professor José Mª Peiró and coordinated by Professors Lourdes Munduate at the University of Seville and Ana Zornoza at the University of Valencia who has the mention of excellence from the Ministry.
