Abstract

This study primarily aims to try to identify the impact of "intellectual capital investment on employee job performance" (a field study in the Food and Drug Control Center), represented by the employees within the center. In addition, it attempts to identify the extent to which there are statistically significant differences in the opinions of the study sample regarding (intellectual capital and employee job performance) attributable to demographic variables. The study population may consist of (all employees of the center).

To achieve the study's objectives, a questionnaire was designed to collect data and distributed to a sample of (106) employees. The collected data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The study adopted a descriptive approach by describing the current state of the subject under study, as well as analyzing the responses obtained to determine the opinions of the sample members regarding the role of intellectual capital investment on employee job performance. The study reached a number of conclusions, the most important of which are:

1.      The study results showed a relationship between intellectual capital and its dimensions and employee performance, as measured by Pearson's correlation coefficient.

2.      There is an overall effect of all variables (human capital, structural capital, and relational capital) on employee performance

3.      There is a statistically significant and substantial effect of intellectual capital (structural capital x2, human capital x1, and relational capital x3) on employee job performance.
