Enhancing Employee Human Capital Benefits through Knowledge Management: A Conceptual Model

Organizations nowadays have been more concerned with human capital development as intangible resources as human capital have remarkable contribution to the sustainable competitive advantage. Though many researchers reported the significance of human resource management practices in this kind of developmental process, they have also shown interrelationship between human capital and knowledge management (KM). However, a precise theoretical framework or a hierarchical structure explaining the relations between human capital creation or human capital benefits and KM is scarce in the literature. Following previous researches, this paper concentrates on KM process architecture and KM infrastructure (organizational culture and communication) to predict employee perceived human capital benefits symbolizing the creation of human capital at an individual employee level. This review is integrated using a model and propositions that relate KM process and infrastructure with human capital benefits.
