Abstract

This chapter extends the literature on the topic of IC by reporting the results of dimension analysis using a new population; teachers (n= 408) in secondary schools in a developing country, Pakistan. Results of empirical testing revealed a four-factor structure for IC. Organizational Citizenship Behavior mediated Principal Leadership Skills in promoting the development of IC in schools. Construct validity of the IC factors was shown by a favorable comparison with the World Bank four pillars of a knowledge economy.
