Abstract :
Purpose: This article presents a comprehensive model for the identification, measurement, and management of intangible organizational assets. Its objective is to enhance organizational performance and competitive capabilities through the optimal utilization of intangible assets such as human, intellectual, and social capital.
Design/methodology/approach: The design of this model incorporates elements of organizational psychology and knowledge management to facilitate a deeper analysis and improved management of these assets. The optimal design approach involves a combination of organizational psychology and knowledge management perspectives. This approach can contribute to a more profound analysis of intangible assets such as human and intellectual capital, offering a new level of insight, and provide tools and methods for optimal management. Organizational psychology theories can be employed to examine the impact of communication and organizational culture, fostering improvements in communication processes and the creation of new social capabilities.
Findings: The research findings, which are of significant importance to your field, indicate that cultural capital holds the highest significance with a weight of 0.249, followed by social and political capital with weights of 0.198 and 0.195, respectively. Intellectual, spiritual, and psychological capital are of lesser importance in descending order. Despite the limitations of the research, such as restricted access to data and challenges in measuring intangible assets, which may impact the accuracy and reliability of the results, the practical implications of this research are profound. They encompass improved organizational decision-making, increased efficiency, and strengthened knowledge management strategies.
