A chapter in The Dynamics of Intellectual Capital in Current Era, 2021, pp 31-62 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter extends the literature on the topic of Intellectual capital (IC) by reporting the results of SEM and dimensions analysis using a new population; teachers (n = 408) in secondary schools in a developing country, Pakistan. Results of empirical testing revealed a four-factor structure for IC. Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) mediated Principal leadership skills (PLS) in promoting the development of IC in schools. Construct validity of the IC factors was shown by a favorable comparison with the World Bank 4-Pillars of a knowledge economy and dimensions of the Human Capital Index (HCI). Validated measurement instruments are provided for use by school leaders to collect reliable data as evidence of their school’s progress toward developing IC in their schools. A deep literature review informs the reader regarding the critical importance of developing IC in a changing world context. A discussion of current disruptive technologies explains how these can be kept in perspective so as not to overshadow the necessity for respect and nurture of the human element. Implications for using IC as the basis of creating ambidextrous organizational structures to meet the needs of challenging economic and social times are provided.
