    Aunque la literatura académica afirma que el crecimiento de las organizaciones (también de las públicas) está influido por sus bienes intangibles (Sztompka, 1999), el sector público no ha dedicado tanta atención como el privado para explorar cómo se puede generar valor intangible. El presente artículo pone de manifiesto que la gestión pública que genere citizen engagement es clave para incrementar la riqueza de las naciones. Con apoyo en inves-tigaciones previas (Piqueiras, 2019, 2020; Piqueiras y Canel, 2021), se identifica la influen-cia del citizen engagement en la riqueza de 16 países de la Unión Europea a través de un modelo de regresión lineal que permite explorar cada uno de los componentes del compro-miso. Los hallazgos establecen una relación directa y positiva entre el pib per cápita y el nivel de compromiso que la administración pública es capaz de generar en sus ciudadanos. A partir de aquí, se proporcionan pistas para que la gestión pública esté mejor orientada a la generación de riqueza a través de este recurso intangible.

    Although academic literature has assured that the growth of organizations (also of public ones) is influenced by the management of their intangible assets (Sztompka, 1999), traditionally it has only been the corporate sector that has dedicated attention and resources to them. This article shows that public management of intangibles, and more specifically of citizen engagement, is key to increasing the wealth of nations. Based on previous research (Piqueiras, 2019, 2020; Piqueiras and Canel, 2021), the influence of citizen engagement on the wealth of 16 countries is identified through a linear regression model that allows to link each specific component of this resource. The findings establish a direct and positive relation-ship between gdp per capita and the level of citizen engagement that the public administra-tion is able to build in its citizens. Findings provide clues to better gear public management to the development of wealth through building this intangible resource.
