According to Hubbarb, Rice and Beamish (2008) organisation resources can be defined as the tangible and intangible assets of the organisation.

They also make sure their staffs have minimum requirement before hiring them and also offers them travel benefits to keep them happy (Jetstar 2012) as Harter (2011) mentioned that research shows that staffs perform better when the organisation keeps them happy and especially with the skills and requirements that they already got, they will provide outstanding services to the customers and keep the customers happy.
