The moderator role of organizational culture between intellectual capital and business performance: An empirical study in Iraqi industry

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationships between Intellectual capital and business performance through a moderator role of organizational culture in Iraqi industry. The main objective of this study is to investigate whether intellectual capital has a direct effect on business performance. However, a review of the management literature reveals that the relationship between intellectual capital and business performance is still vague. The results of this study showed that intellectual capital elements (customer capital, human capital, structural capital, and relational capital) can have a direct effect on the business performance of Iraqi industry and through the moderator role of organizational culture. Hence this study was trying to fill the gap from the perspective of resource-based view.

Keywords: Organizational culture, intellectual capital, business performance, Iraqi industry.
