Abstract
Human capital is recognized as a pillar of the creation of intellectual capital and is fundamental for the productivity and functioning of organizations. From a contemporary perspective, human capital ceases to be considered only as cost and is seen as an investment, once it is possible to measure it. The objective of this article was to measure some existing approaches to capital human measurement, using as a methodological tool a bibliometric research in the last 11 years of the papers submitted and approved at EnAnpad, which is an event organized by the National Association of PostGraduate Studies and Research in Administration (ANPAD). The bibliometric research was elaborated by quantitative documentary analysis. The results showed, among others, a great diversity of areas in relation to how this theme is treated. This leads to reflections on how human capital has been gaining space for discussions in various organizational environments. There is a sign that from this subject, before, certainly, a discussion almost restricts the area of human resources, now goes beyond the walls and departmental currencies.
