Background: The most fundamental characteristic of 21st-century intelligent organizations is their emphasis on knowledge and information. Intellectual capital, as a set of intangible assets, is considered a vital resource for organizational performance and the ability to innovate, create, and sustain competitive advantages. This study aimed to evaluate the maturity level of intellectual capital within the Deputy of Management Development and Resources at Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, in 2024.
Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 2024. The statistical population consisted of senior, middle, and base-level managers, as well as employees of the Deputy, categorized by departments, including Human Resources Management, Physical Resources and Construction Projects, Financial and Accounting Resources, Support Services, Organizational Development and Administrative Transformation, Budget Planning and Performance Monitoring. The total population was 133 individuals. Data were collected using the Intellectual Capital Assessment Questionnaire and analyzed with Mann-Whitney, ANOVA, and Kruskal-Wallis tests via SPSS 26 software.
Results: Approximately 65% of the participants considered the status of intellectual capital at an average level. Additionally, the findings indicated a significant and direct relationship between marital status and intellectual capital as well as between management domain and the “managed level of intellectual capital maturity (p = 0.03).
Conclusion: Considering that the overall mean score of intellectual capital maturity was evaluated as average, further attention and awareness are required to enhance the maturity of intellectual capital to higher levels. Promoting a culture of learning and innovation within the organization can contribute to this enhancement. Additionally, continuous monitoring of intellectual capital through defining performance indicators and periodic reporting can facilitate better management and informed decision-making.
