Additionally, in comparison, amongst the mediators, organizational capital is found to be the most contributing component followed by human and relational capital. The findings of this research will assist the HR managers and organizations in the composition and positioning of HRM practices and IC.

Summary

Introduction

In the 21st century, organizations are facing various fluctuations, instability, competitiveness and rapid shifts in the market (Obeidat et al, 2016). Today knowledge-based resources have been increasingly recognized as valuable competitive tools and are contributing in greater Organizational Performance (OP). Strengthening OP is the most important aspect for any organization. It majorly depends on its valuable Human Resource Management (HRM) as it is the individuals who design and support the entire organizations’ system. It depends highly on the Intellectual Capital (IC) which includes the knowledge and expertise that employees possesses, information systems, processes and databases which an organization own, and relations that it maintains with its external stakeholders (Edvinsson and Malone, 1997; Bontis, 2004).
