Today, the nature of business is facing some important and critical challenges and changes that have changed organizations' economic activities greatly. Issues such as competition expansion, advances in information technology, the changes to organizational structures, and economic units' attempt to land on a pioneer rank have made continuous improvement of organizational performance inevitable. Survival and flourishing in such environments is possible only through achieving a leading place which necessitates implementation of the leading organizations' characteristics and focusing on influencing factors on organizational performance. An effective factor on organizational performance is an organization's intellectual capital which is the issue studied in this article. This research studied the impact of the variable "intellectual capital" on "organizational performance" and meanwhile, it seemed that the variable "organizational learning" also influenced the relation between these two variables and functions as a mediatory variable. The research population consisted of all the managers and employees of Melli Banks including people from the main supervising unit and other service branches in the city of Qom and the data were gathered through questionnaires. To examine the dimensions of the research variables and its construct validity, confirmatory factor analysis was first applied and then, discriminant validity and convergent validity were calculated. For testing the research hypotheses, structural equations modeling was used. Findings showed that the direct effect of intellectual capital on organizational performance was not very strong, but this variable influenced Melli Banks performance through the mediatory variable "organizational learning process". The effect of intellectual capital on organizational learning process was confirmed. Moreover, the findings indicated that organizational learning process had a direct and positive effect on Melli Banks performance.

Effects of Structural Intellectual Capital on The Innovation Capacity of Public Administration
Journal of technology management & innovation, 2021
Structural capital is one of the elements of intellectual capital and measuring it in local public administration contributes to assessing value for society. This article analyzes the effects of structural intellectual capital on the innovation capacity of public administration in a Latin American city. The research was carried out with civil servants who hold management positions in the City Hall of the researched city. It was used multivariate exploratory analysis, principal component analysis, correlation and linear regression to statistically organize the data. The main results are that structural intellectual capital has a positive, significant and direct influence on the capacity for innovation in public administration. For public managers, the study demonstrated that investment in structural capital can have direct and proportional effects on the ability to innovate in services and processes, organizational and institutional. Therefore, investments in structure, processes, and organizational philosophy in public administration tend to improve managers' ability to innovate. It is important to highlight that structural intellectual capital aligned with innovation has the potential to significantly improve technology, services, processes, and meeting social demands for the local community.
Impact of Intellectual Capital on Organizational Performance: Evidence from a Developing Country
Academy of Strategic Management Journal, 2018
Intellectual capital has been much discussed in developed nations for organization's value creation. In a competitive market, intellectual capital proved to be a source of a competitive advantage for organizations. However, this study is conducted to anticipate the potential effect of intellectual capital in the context of a developing country. The central objective of this research is to hypothesize the mediation effect of knowledge process capability between intellectual capital dimensions and organizational performance. Survey method is applied for data collection. Data is collected from 154 large manufacturing industries in Pakistan. The analysis is performed via partial least square (WarpPLS 5.0). The outcome of this research revealed that knowledge process capability mediates with all dimensions of intellectual capital. Among the dimensions of intellectual capital, relational capital has the strongest effect on knowledge process capability and organizational performance. The present study advances knowledge by applying intellectual capital effects on organizational performance in a developing country. This study added new insights for the HR managers and policy makers of developing countries to disseminate such concepts to their respective organizations.
Towards a model of intellectual capital in public administrations
International Journal of Learning and Intellectual Capital, 2006
Public administrations are experiencing a process of change and modernisation towards the search for greater efficiency and effectiveness schemes. In this process, new approaches to management-such as the ones that consider the crucial role of intangibles-might well contribute to the effort. Consequently, the present paper explores the role of intellectual capital in public administrations, in an attempt to measure and manage intangibles based on knowledge in such organisations. In particular, we propose a model, building on the literature and the empirical study of two public units at the National Tax Authority in Spain: the Fiscal Studies Institute (IEF) and the Tributary Agency (AEAT).

This research looks at the impact of intellectual capital (IC) through the intervening mechanism of organizational learning (OL) and innovative work behavior (IWB) on task performance (TP) in the education sector of Lahore, Pakistan. To accomplish the purpose, a theoretical framework has been made in line with literature review, using resource orchestration theory. Pretested investigative tool was used to accomplish a survey from public/private universities, and colleges in the district of Lahore, during October 2022 to January 2023. Quantitative and cross-sectional approach has been taken into consideration using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) based on a sample of 361 questionnaires. Out of which 340 answered, 10 incomplete and 11 forms returned un-answered. Regression analysis was applied for hypothesis testing. The main significance of this research is that the performance requirements and improvements in teacher quality will lead to students having the highest level of knowledge, which will help Pakistan rise to the top of the world soon. To enhance the performance of teachers and the organization, the decision taken for the improvement by the organization is to reward their teachers for motivating them to stay. Since the results relate to a particular point in time, the study has the cross-sectional research limitation. Future research can be done based upon longitudinal analysis in the current sample as part of a future line of research to address the gap. Future research can be expanded to another region of Pakistan.
The Influence of Intellectual Capital on the Performance of Employees
In a modern competitive environment nowadays, there is a tendency that the driver of the values' creation lies in the intellectual capital that is owned by a company, instead of physical and financial capital. The role of intellectual capital greatly affects the performance of the employee and in the long term will affect the performance of the organization. But even though intellectual capital can increase organization's competitiveness, but unfortunately in many organizations human resources is rarely a major concern. Many of organization's leaders were not aware that the organization's benefit was actually derived from intellectual capital. This study tries to obtain information about the role of intellectual capital on employees' performance at Universitas Terbuka, Indonesia. By using 3 independent latent variables (exogenous), e.g. human capital, structural capital, and customer Capital; and 1 latent variable or dependent (endogenous) of employee performance, the study reveals that human capital does not affect the performance of employees significantly, while customer capital and structural capital significantly influence employee performance.
Organizational Capital: A Resource for Changing and Performing in Public Administrations
Sustainability
The aim of this study was to deepen our knowledge about the role played by organizational capital (OC) among public administration (PA) agencies. A questionnaire was administered to a gender-balanced convenience sample of 270 workers of Italian PAs. First, confirmatory factor analysis was performed in order to examine the measurement model. Second, a SEM model was performed, confirming that OC was both directly and indirectly positively related to performance, through the mediation of innovation. OC was also positively related to innovation through the mediation of clarity about change. Overall, the results supported the hypothesized model, providing initial evidence on the pivotal role OC plays, and especially for PA agencies, on organizational innovation and performance. The limits and practical implications of these results are discussed.
Business & Economic Review
Throughout the world, public sector organisations are under continuous pressure from various stakeholders for performance improvement. Public sector, just like corporate sector is also utilising intellectual capital (IC) in various ways and it is being argued that IC as a strategic resource can also help in improving the performance of this sector. However, research on intellectual capital in public sector is still very scarce, and especially, in the context of developing countries, almost non-existent. The IC body of knowledge has evolved through various stages and currently it is moving towards the fourth stage. This paper is focussing on the third stage of 'IC in practice'. The third stage of IC research advocates the complex and idiosyncratic nature of intellectual capital and stresses on researching 'IC in action' i.e., IC practices and managerial implications rather than measuring it. This theoretical paper aims to propose a framework to explore IC phenomenon in the knowledge intensive public sector organisations of a developing country (Pakistan). It raises the issues of the role of IC in value creation or destruction in the public sector and practices associated with intellectual capital, in such organisations which do not have explicit IC management strategies however, through their practices these organisations are managing it. It also develops a conceptual framework which proposes to study the IC practices of the public sector organisations through performative IC, social construction, and structuration lenses in order to grasp the complexity of conceptualising the IC, its particular nature, failure of generalisation of the IC grand theories, and development of IC body of knowledge. This framework focuses on understanding the phenomenon and its role in public sector organisations. The framework contributes towards the IC in Practice perspective of IC body of knowledge in the specific context of public sector organisations in a developing country and suggests that by adopting an appropriate methodology, the practices, management, and development of IC
