The research results showed the following: (1) Buddhism places great importance on development of human resource competency because it is an important key for organizational growth. The Buddha had assigned a job appropriate to the person, and appointed the person appropriate to the job based on knowledge, competency, skill and expertise of each person. (2) Qualifications of talented and good persons in Buddhism are the seven Sappurisa-dhammas, virtues of a gentleman or qualifications of a good man: knowing the cause, knowing the consequence, knowing oneself, knowing moderation, knowing the proper time, knowing the assembly and knowing the individual. In addition, talented persons must have knowledge, competency, excellent working skill, wisdom in solving various problems as well as physical and mental energy to work for the organizational growth and sustainability.
