As knowledge management has become new management paradigm, human capital has been a core strategic factor and capital to maintain a firm's competitiveness. So, human capital management is integrated with business strategy and strategic needs throughly, and strategic human capital management has been carried out to be harmonized with other influencing factors of the organization effectiveness.
The purpose of the study are as follows; the first, to testify the relationship between characteristics of strategic human capital and organization's performance, the second, to testify the relationship between characteristics of strategic human capital and management control system, the third, to testify the correlations between characteristics of strategic human capital and management control system affect the performances of organization.
The methods with which this study is conducted are basically two types of method; the first, the bibliographical method for the conceptual model for empirical study, the second, empirical method of testifying the relationship among the variables with survey data from 161 manufactoring companies in Korea.
The review of previous theories and research findings leads to the development of conceptual model consisted of basic variables from which the research hypotheses are derived.

For testing the research hypothesis, this study used regression and correlation analyses. And F-ratio is used to test the mediating role of management control system and also path analysis is used to test causality among variables additionaly.
The empirical research results are as follows:
First, the hypothesis 1 to test the effect of 4 characteristics of strategic human capital on the performance of the organization was partially supported. Second, the characteristics of strategic human capital and each of the management control system (social control, behavior control and outcome control) are significantly correlated. The hypothesis 2 to test that the correlations between characteristics of strategic human capital and management control system was supported. Third, the hypothesis 3 to test that correlations between characteristics of strategic human capital and management control system affect organization's performances was not supported.
To supplement this results, path analysis is used to test the mediating influence of the relationship between management control system and characteristics of strategic human capital on the performance of the organization.
There is the mediating influence of management control system on learning & growth and also on the other organization's performances. The mediating role of management control system is moderately significant. In path analysis, the fitness of model is favorable(χ²=147.031, p=0.000, RMR=0.056, GFI=0.882, NFI=0.870).
In brief, the results of this study are as follows:
First, There are close correlations between characteristics of strategic human capital and management control system. second, the effects of characteristics of strategic human capital on organization's performances is partially supported. Third, the correlations between characteristics of strategic human capital and management control system don't affect organization's performances, but management control system play an mediating role partially.
The implications of this research and the future research project are presented.
