Abstract
This paper examines whether Intellectual Capital (IC) efficiency is associated with Earnings Quality (EQ) for Jordanian-listed firms. Using the value-added intellectual coefficient and total accruals models to measure both IC and EQ, a positive and significant association was found between IC efficiency and EQ. Also found were a significant positive relationship between relational capital efficiency and EQ, a significant negative relationship between structural capital efficiency and EQ, and no relationship between human capital efficiency and EQ except in the real estate sector. Those results have implications for the competitive advantage of firms over rivals, corporate management decision-making, and the performance of the Jordanian capital market.
