Abstract: The study seeks to understand the role played by accreditation in determining the employees' behaviour and to analyse the relationship between accreditation criteria and human resources (HR) capabilities. The research was conducted through an investigation utilising a sample of four public universities, involving 203 employees. Data is collected from multiple sources of evidence, including survey, a focus group, and semi-structured interviews. Thus, the methodology adopted was the analytical approach through modelling relationships of multiples variables based on structural equation model (PLS-SEM). The findings proved that there exists an indirect relationship between staff and faculty determinants and HR capabilities. Furthermore, the professional development and evaluation as accreditation criteria influence the determinants of HR capabilities through the decrypting of engagement of people, which ensure equilibrium between the intention of employees and their confidence level to promote their skills and behaviour.
