Resumen
El estudio del capital intelectual (CI) actualmente reviste mucha importancia para
las organizaciones, por tanto, son activos que generan ventaja competitiva y
beneficios futuros. En cuanto a la producción y difusión de conocimiento científico
surgen gracias al aumento del capital intelectual y al avance vertiginoso de las
tecnologías de la información que hacen más eficientes estos procesos. Según la
revisión bibliográfica de literatura no existen investigaciones que relacionen estas
tres variables de estudio, por lo tanto, este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar
cómo influye el CI en la producción y difusión de conocimiento científico en
Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES) Públicas de la región de los Santanderes
de Colombia. Teóricamente se desarrolló un marco y revisión de literatura que da
cuenta de los autores clásicos, contemporáneos y actuales más importantes de las
tres variables de estudio, y se determinó la importancia de la Teoría de los Recursos
y Capacidades para relacionar las tres variables de estudio. Metodológicamente se
utilizó la investigación explicativa con un enfoque cuantitativo, la recolección de la
información de fuentes primarias para medir el capital intelectual, se utilizó una
encuesta tipo Likert dirigida a 371 investigadores para medir el CI, la cual paso por
un proceso validez de contenido a través de evaluación de cinco expertos, validez
de criterio por medio de Alfa de Cronbach, y validez de constructo mediante la
prueba de Barlett, y KMO, y posteriormente se aplicó el Análisis Factorial
Exploratorio para la selección de los ítems; para analizar la producción científica se
utilizó información de fuentes secundarias suministrada por Minciencias; de igual
manera para la difusión de conocimiento científico se tomó la información del índice
h y la participación en conference proceedings en Scopus y Web of Science (WoS).
Los resultados se obtuvieron mediante la modelación de ecuaciones estructurales
(SEM) confirmado que la influencia del capital humano en la producción y difusión
del conocimiento científico es estadísticamente significativa, mientras que la
influencia del capital estructural y del capital relacional en la producción científica y
difusión del conocimiento no es estadísticamente significativas. Las conclusiones
del estudio demostraron que el capital humano es adecuado y pertinente para la
producción y difusión de conocimiento, mientras que el capital estructural requiere
de redireccionar los procesos y recursos tanto físicos como tecnológicos y
financieros para impactar positivamente en la producción y difusión de
conocimiento, de igual manera en el capital relacional se necesita que los convenios
y redes de colaboración se establezcan y ejecuten de manera adecuada para
contribuir positiva y significativamente en la toma de decisiones, para fortalecer el
capital intelectual y por consiguiente se incremente la producción científica y su
difusión en dichas instituciones. Este estudio es nuevo, por lo tanto, aporta en
aspectos teóricos, metodológicos y prácticos para el direccionamiento estratégico
de las IES en su misión de investigación que impacta tanto en los procesos
académicos como en su relación con el sector externo, a través de estrategias que
permitan aportar científicamente a la creación o mejoramiento de los procesos
administrativos, técnicos, industriales, o de cualquier otra naturaleza.
The study of intellectual capital (IC) is currently very important for organizations, therefore they are assets that generate competitive advantage and future benefits. As for the production and diffusion of scientific knowledge, they arise thanks to the increase in intellectual capital and the rapid advance of information technologies that make these processes more efficient. According to the bibliographic review of literature, there are no investigations that relate these three study variables, therefore, this study aims to analyze how IC influences the production and diffusion of scientific knowledge in Public Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) of the Santanderes region of Colombia. Theoretically, a framework and literature review were developed those accounts for the most important classical, contemporary, and current authors of the three study variables, and the importance of the Theory of Resources and Capacities was determined to relate the three study variables. Methodologically, explanatory research was used with a quantitative approach, the collection of information from primary sources to measure intellectual capital, a Likert-type survey directed at 371 researchers was used to measure IC, which went through a content validity process through the evaluation of five experts, criterion validity through Cronbach's Alpha, and construct validity through the Barlett test, and KMO, and later the Exploratory Factor Analysis was applied for the selection of the items; To analyze the scientific production, information from secondary sources provided by Minciencias was used; In the same way, for the diffusion of scientific knowledge, the information of the h index and the participation in conference proceedings in Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) were taken. The results were obtained through structural equation modeling (SEM), confirming that the influence of human capital on the production and diffusion of scientific knowledge is statistically significant, while the influence of structural capital and relational capital on the scientific production and diffusion of knowledge is not statistically significant. The conclusions of the study showed that human capital is adequate and relevant for the production and diffusion of knowledge, while structural capital requires redirecting physical, technological and financial processes, and resources to positively impact the production and diffusion of knowledge. In the same way, in relational capital, collaboration agreements and networks need to be established and executed adequately to contribute positively and significantly in decisionmaking, to strengthen intellectual capital and consequently increase scientific production and its diffusion in these institutions. This study is new, therefore, it contributes in theoretical, methodological and practical aspects for the strategic direction of HEIs in their research mission that impacts both academic processes and their relationship with the external sector, through strategies that allow scientifically contribute to the creation or improvement of administrative, technical, industrial, or any other type of processes.
