Abstract
In an era where knowledge-driven economies define competitive advantage, structural capital management and knowledge-sharing mechanisms have become pivotal in enhancing employee engagement. Structural capital, encompassing organizational processes, digital infrastructures, and cultural frameworks, plays a crucial role in fostering an environment conducive to knowledge exchange. While prior research has explored intellectual capital and employee engagement, the specific role of structural capital as a key enabler of knowledge-sharing behaviors and engagement outcomes remains underdeveloped. This chapter employs a systematic literature review to synthesize existing research on structural capital, knowledge sharing, and employee engagement, identifying key themes, theoretical gaps, and emerging trends. This chapter proposes a unique conceptual framework that integrates structural capital, knowledge sharing, and employee engagement , which are elements often studied in isolation, through the lenses of Intellectual Capital Theory, Social Exchange Theory, and the Knowledge-Based View. Unlike existing models, it emphasizes the moderating role of digital transformation and generational diversity across different organizational types and sizes. The findings emphasize that well-structured organizational systems, leadership support, and digital collaboration tools significantly drive engagement outcomes. The study contributes to academic discourse by bridging intellectual capital, knowledge management, and employee engagement research, while offering practical insights for business leaders to optimize structural capital strategies. Future research directions are proposed to empirically validate the framework in diverse organizational contexts.
