“…However, it is considered as a fundamental element of the success and CA of SMEs (Rossi et al, 2016). In the emerging market Pakistan, IC makes a significant contribution in the survival and growth of SMEs (Majid & Yasir, 2017) and deems to be a necessary factor for public and private sector organizations (Khan & Jamal, 2013). It is a big predictor as well as it has a significant impact on CA (Tandon et al, 2016;Yaseen, Dajani, & Hasan, 2016).…”

“…This theoretical paper proposes a framework to understand the role of IC in PS organisations in Pakistan, in order to evaluate the role of IC in action in the PS and evaluate the utilisation of the elements of IC in this vital sector. While, there has been a lot of research conducted in corporate sector regarding IC and its role, there is scarcity of research in the PS on this topic (Guthrie, Ricceri, & Dumay, 2012; and research is almost non-existent in the context of Pakistan (Khan & Jamal, 2013;Khan, 2007) where the public-sector organisations still have not adopted any measures for the management of their IC in explicit ways.…”

Throughout the world, public sector organisations are under continuous pressure from various stakeholders for performance improvement. Public sector, just like corporate sector is also utilising intellectual capital (IC) in various ways and it is being argued that IC as a strategic resource can also help in improving the performance of this sector. However, research on intellectual capital in public sector is still very scarce, and especially, in the context of developing countries, almost non-existent.The IC body of knowledge has evolved through various stages and currently it is moving towards the fourth stage. This paper is focussing on the third stage of 'IC in practice'. The third stage of IC research advocates the complex and idiosyncratic nature of intellectual capital and stresses on researching 'IC in action' i.e., IC practices and managerial implications rather than measuring it. This theoretical paper aims to propose a framework to explore IC phenomenon in the knowledge intensive public sector organisations of a developing country (Pakistan). It raises the issues of the role of IC in value creation or destruction in the public sector and practices associated with intellectual capital, in such organisations which do not have explicit IC management strategies however, through their practices these organisations are managing it. It also develops a conceptual framework which proposes to study the IC practices of the public sector organisations through performative IC, social construction, and structuration lenses in order to grasp the complexity of conceptualising the IC, its particular nature, failure of generalisation of the IC grand theories, and development of IC body of knowledge. This framework focuses on understanding the phenomenon and its role in public sector organisations.The framework contributes towards the IC in Practice perspective of IC body of knowledge in the specific context of public sector organisations in a developing country and suggests that by adopting an appropriate methodology, the practices, management, and development of IC 1 PhD Scholar and Assistant Professor at can be better comprehended through this framework.
