Abstract
Agricultural institutions are one of the supporting factors in the development of horticultural agribusiness. Various previous scientific studies explain that good human capital will have implications for strengthening agribusiness institutions. The primary objective of this study is to examine the characteristics of human capital in the horticultural agribusiness institutional system. In this study, there were 5 (five) parameters of human capital were measured: individual capability, individual motivation, leadership, the organizational climate, and workgroup effectiveness. The five parameters reflect the characteristics of human capital, which are related to the institutional system. This research was conducted in Bantaeng Regency with 120 sample respondents, which were selected at simple randomness. Then, the collected data were processed and analyzed using a Likert scale and descriptive statistics. Each parameter that is measured is assigned a value and category of assessment. The scores and categories used were with a score range of 3.67-5.00 (good), 2.34-3.66 (fairly good), and 1.00-2.33 (poor). The results of the study indicated that, in general, the characteristics and quality of the human capital of farmers who manage horticultural agribusiness institutions were in “fairly good” category. This is indicated by the average score of the parameters measured, namely for the individual capability at 3.60, the individual motivation at 3.14, the leadership at 3.38, the organizational climate at 3.63, and the workgroup effectiveness at 3.30. Based on these research results, it can be concluded that the farmers, as the main actors in the cultivation and development of horticultural crops in the research location, had good skills in managing the institutional system as part of the supporting factors for the development of horticultural agribusiness.
