MERCADO-SALGADO, Patricia. Validity of a Scale Measuring Intellectual Capital in Universities. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2016, vol.15, n.2, pp.109-119. ISSN 1657-9267. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.upsy15-2.viem.
Problem: The difficulty to measure the IC in Latin American universities highlights its little interest even though its relevance to the knowledge economy. Purpose: Design and validate a survey for measure Intellectual Capital in universities from a Resource-based Theory perspective and a three components model (human capital, structural capital and relational capital). Method: A subject matter expert panel technique was used to generate the items. It was empirically tested with a convenience sample (n = 742) of academics, middle managers and principals of institutions of higher education in México. Results and Conclusions: With exploratory factor analysis and principal components analysis methods, four factors were detected (human capital, structural capital, relational capital and technological capital) explaining total variance of 66.74%. All subscales obtained Cronbach's Alpha higher to 0.80. There were advances on the measure quality and stability of the questionnaire. In order to generate measure and structural models this study could be replicated.
