Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explain how intellectual capital IC is enacted and used in nonprofit symphony orchestras from an organisational behaviour perspective. Designmethodologyapproach The paper is a ninemonth case study on two communitybased nonprofit orchestras. The method uses field observations, interviews, factor analysis, and visual models in explaining how IC is connected to organisational practices. Findings IC is perhaps best understood in its context to specific organisations rather than as discrete items that are allocated. Research limitationsimplications The case study is limited to nonprofit orchestras based on an organisational behaviour perspective. The results, however, invite further research into how IC is used as a resource towards strategic planning. Practical implications The study results point towards managing IC resources, given that they are grounded in actions and practices of the organisation. Questions of how how is IC used drive the study versus questions of what identification of IC. Originalityvalue Understanding IC as contextdependent provides management guidance to NPO orchestras for improving volunteer participation, motivation, and meeting personal goals. It also informs boards of possible outcomes in implementing organisational change.
