Emergence of the human capital resource: A multilevel model

Research output: Contribution to JournalArticleAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

This article offers a new approach to the conceptualization of the human capital resource by developing a multilevel model connecting micro, intermediate, and macro levels of scholarship. We define human capital as a unit-level resource that is created from the emergence of individuals' knowledge, skills, abilities, or other characteristics. The model provides new insights into how strategically valuable human capital resources have their origins in the psychological attributes of individuals and are transformed through unit-level processes. © 2011 Academy of Management Review.
