Abstract: Increase in human capital is one of the paths to sustainable development. The issue of determinants of redistribution, concentration and dispersion of human capital has been a research topic undertaken by representatives of broadly understood social sciences. It is worth mentioning that one of the basic factors determining the concentration of the discussed resources, as well as their dispersion, are the processes of population migration, which are a derivative of, inter alia, the differentiation of the attractiveness of particular areas. This paper deals with the issue of the level of human capital as one of the key determinants of the socio-economic development of Mazovia. The main aim of this paper is to diagnose the factors pushing out of and attracting human resources to the regions of the Masovian Voivodship. The survey on a representative sample of n=1,233 employers whose business activity is registered in the Warsaw capital region and Mazowieckie region (NUTS 2) was carried out using two research techniques: CATI and CAWI. Statistical inference was carried out using non-parametric tests. The relationships between the variables were tested with the χ2 test. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to study the relationship between two independent groups. This paper indicates the key factors pushing human resources out of individual regions and the factors that, according to employers, encourage people to settle in the Warsaw capital region and Mazowieckie region. Particular attention was paid to factors related to the availability of educational institutions, health care facilities, cultural institutions, the level of wages, costs of living, investment attractiveness and the so-called environmental values.
