Definition of spiritual capital as a part of universities’ mission

Abstract

The present paper poses the different types of capital in order to facilitate universities the understanding of the concept of spiritual capital, since it is a central part of their mission. More specifically, contributions with regard to the concept of capital and their main bibliographic source are presented, and the representation of the evolution of these different forms of capital is provided. When universities understand the concept of spiritual capital and integrate it properly in their mission, they become able to supply students a deeper vision of themselves, the others, and the world, while strengthening their employability given the increasing interest of business for the spiritual capital.
