Nowadays, gender and age are considered as more prominent factor while executing the human resource responsibilities and also an emerging area for the researchers. Thus, the current study aims to examine the influence of gender and age of executives on their practice toward human resource responsibility, including employee’s safety policy, benefits, and knowledge/skill development. The panel data of 816 observations from 408 publicly listed companies in Thailand during 2017-2018 are investigated. The pooled OLS regression has been used to test the hypotheses. The results support our hypothesis that companies that invest in employee’s safety and welfare, as well as, employee’s knowledge development pose higher performances. This study has been found that the age of executives is an essential factor on human resource responsibility of firms. However, our result suggests that the gender of executives has no impact on human resource responsibility.

Płeć i wiek są obecnie uważane za bardziej znaczący czynnik przy wykonywaniu obowiązków związanych z zasobami ludzkimi, a także nowy obszar dla badaczy. Dlatego obecne badanie ma na celu zbadanie wpływu płci i wieku kadry kierowniczej na ich praktykę w zakresie odpowiedzialności za zasoby ludzkie, w tym polityki bezpieczeństwa pracowników, korzyści oraz rozwoju wiedzy / umiejętności. Zbadano dane panelowe z 816 obserwacji z 408 spółek notowanych na giełdzie w Tajlandii w latach 2017–2018. Do przetestowania hipotez wykorzystano zbiorczą regresję OLS. Wyniki potwierdzają naszą hipotezę, że firmy inwestujące w bezpieczeństwo i dobrostan pracowników, a także w rozwój wiedzy pracowników mają lepsze wyniki. Badanie to wykazało, że wiek kadry kierowniczej jest istotnym czynnikiem odpowiedzialnym za zasoby ludzkie firm. Nasz wynik sugeruje jednak, że płeć kadry kierowniczej nie ma wpływu na odpowiedzialność za zasoby ludzkie.
