The purpose of the study was to establish the Human Capital Value’s competence construct theoretical underpinnings by investigating perspectives, definitions, frameworks, models, variables, and measures based on levels of analysis. The research design followed on a theoretical (non-empirical) research approach, based on a systematic literature. The approach allowed for a content analysis, via the application and computer assisted qualitative data analysis software, ATLAS.ti. The findings revealed that individual and team level competence consists of variables such as knowledge, skills, abilities, and attributes that include both the application of behavioural and functional capabilities. Organisation level competence relies on core competencies’ resources and capabilities responsible for maintaining its competitive advantage. Furthermore, the findings have established that there is a significant lack of standardised competence frameworks, models, and measures. The implication of this study needs to be empirically validated, since it was based on a non-empirical systematic literature review.
