Structural Equation Modeling of Intellectual Capital Based on Organizational Learning in Iran's General Inspections Organization

摘要

This study is to present a model of intellectual capital based on the organizational learning in Iran's General Inspections Organization (GIO). The population of the study included all the employees of GIO in Tehran city totaling 675. Using simple random sampling, 392 were finally selected. The research instruments were two questionnaires: Watkins and Marsick's (2004) Organizational Learning Questionnaire with 43 items and the reliability index of 0.97 which has three levels of individual, group (team), and organizational, and Bontis's (2004) Intellectual Capital Questionnaire with 50 items and the Alpha Cronbach index of 0.97 which includes three dimensions of human capital, structural capital， and relational capital. The results of path analysis indicated that aspects of organizational learning have a direct impact on intellectual capital (0.66). The authors' suggested model showed that the variables of individual and group learning in organizational learning have the highest impact on the structural capital. The results also revealed that the model has an acceptable fit.
