Abstract
The paper examines the relationship between intellectual capital (IC) determinants and performance in non-profit organisations (NPOs) in the UK. It focuses on the productivity of human capital in social housing associations (SHA) and other charities (OC). We analysed the efficiency and effectiveness of 64 NPOs using Pulic's value added intellectual coefficient. We employed ordinary least squares regression analyses on data obtained from annual reports over two years. We found that SHA had lower levels of IC efficiency than OC. Our results revealed that value added intellectual capital coefficient was negatively associated with performance of SHAOC, whereas, the value added capital employed coefficient was positively associated with the effectiveness of SHAOC. We concluded that HC was an important component than capital resources in SHA. Our results were limited due to a small sample and short period that was considered.
期刊介绍:
Strategy management is concerned with understanding the forces and causes that explain performance differences between organisations. One approach studies industry structures as external determinants of organisational performance. An alternative approach focuses on internal resources and capabilities as sources of sustained competitive advantage. This is the resource and capabilities theory of the firm. On the other hand, the knowledge-based view of the firm considers the firm as a repository of knowledge-based resources and capabilities. To the extent that these resources and capabilities are unique, rare, difficult to imitate and non-substitutable, they confer sustained competitive advantage on the firm.
