LAVIN VERASTEGUI, Jesús. Structural capital and its relationship with performance in higher education. RIDE. Rev. Iberoam. Investig. Desarro. Educ [online]. 2020, vol.10, n.20, e040.  Epub Nov 18, 2020. ISSN 2007-7467.  https://doi.org/10.23913/ride.v10i20.662.

The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between structural capital and performance in higher education schools. A quantitative study was carried out, for which a questionnaire was applied to personnel of higher education institutions who agreed to answer the instrument. A sample of 84 respondents was obtained. The exploratory factor analysis technique identified the underlying structure of the constructs of interest, and by means of the correlation coefficient, the association between structural capital and performance variables was determined. It was determined that there is a positive and significant correlation of structural capital with the dimensions of performance: educational quality and efficiency-innovation. These findings are relevant because they give guidance to the management of the institutions analyzed, the importance of implementing design practices and implementation of organizational techniques related to the formal structure of schools for the benefits it brings to organizational performance.
