Abstract (2. Language): 
Purpose: This research focuses on the benefits that social responsibility can report on the area of human resources, examined the impact of a socially responsible configuration of human resource policies and practices in the generation value process for the company, and more specifically in its intellectual capital. Design/methodology: The study performed a regression analysis, testing the individual effects of socially responsible human resource policies on intellectual capital, broken down into three main variables such as human, social and organizational capital. Findings: The results shed light on how the introduction of socially responsible aspects in the management of human resources can facilitate the exchange of knowledge, skills and attitudes -human capital-; lead to improvements in communication, trust, cooperation among employees -social-capital- and, in turn, generates an institutionalized knowledge encoded in the own organizational culture -organizational capital-. Research limitations/implications: The study only provides information from large companies with over 250 employees. Practical implications: There are important implications in the measure of corporate social responsibility concerns in the area of human resources.Social implications: Also important intangible effects on non-economic variables are confirmed, such as intellectual capital. Originality/value: The value of the study lies in its novelty, testing socially responsible configurations of human resources as well as the direct effects of different policies on intellectual capital.

Objeto: La presente investigación se centra en los beneficios que la responsabilidad social puede reportar al área de recursos humanos, examinado el impacto que una configuración de políticas y prácticas de recursos humanos socialmente responsable tiene en la generación de valor de la empresa, y más concretamente en su capital intelectual. Diseño/metodología/enfoque: El estudio realiza un análisis de regresión, testando los efectos individuales de las políticas de recursos humanos socialmente responsables en el capital intelectual, desglosado en tres variables principales como son capital humano, social y organizacional. Aportaciones y resultados: Los resultados del estudio arrojan luz sobre cómo la introducción de aspectos socialmente responsables en la gestión de los recursos humanos puede facilitar el intercambio de conocimientos, habilidades y actitudes -capital humano-; inducir a mejoras en la comunicación, confianza, cooperación entre los empleados -capital social- y, a su vez, generar un conocimiento institucionalizado codificado en la propia cultura organizativa -capital organizacional-. Limitaciones: El estudio solo proporciona información de grandes empresas de más de 250 empleados.Implicaciones prácticas: Existen importantes repercusiones en lo que a la medida de la responsabilidad social corporativa se refiere en el área de recursos humanos. Implicaciones sociales: Asimismo, se confirman importantes efectos sobre variables intangibles de carácter no económico, como es el caso del capital intelectual. Originalidad / Valor añadido: El valor del estudio reside en su novedad, testando configuraciones de recursos humanos socialmente responsables, así como los efectos directos de las diferentes políticas en el capital intelectual.
