Abstract

In this study, the concept of intellectual capital and its components are examined first. Then, the standard features of intellectual capital and human capital with career capital are revealed. Moreover, finally, a new model has been proposed for the concept of intellectual capital. The study aims to show the bond of career capital in intellectual capital and to emphasise that it can be considered as a separate essential element. The theoretical model proposed by the study considered career capital as a sub-component of human capital within intellectual capital. Accordingly, human capital in the study consists of two main sub-components: attitude capital and career capital. The career capital supported by the attitude capital of the human can be evaluated as the whole capital in a concrete career life rather than the individual characteristics of the employee. The study aims to bring a different perspective to studies on the subject. It is the review of the related conceptual literature in order to contribute to the information in the relevant literature.
