Relationship between Intellectual Capital and Job Performance of the Employees of the General Directorate and the Departments of the Suburbs of Sports and Youth of Khorasan Razavi

Today, organizations strongly emphasize on knowledge and intellectual capital and the attention of managers to intangible assets. Intellectual capital is one of the most influential variables in sports organizations. Therefore, the research is to investigate the relationship between intellectual capital and job performance of the employees of the General Directorate and the departments of the suburbs of Sports and Youth Organizations in Khorasan Razavi. The research method was descriptive correlational. The statistical population consisted of employees of the General Directorate and subsidiary cities of which 174 people were selected. Using random sampling method and Cochran formula, 120 subjects were selected. For data collection, the standard questionnaire of intellectual capital Bontis (1998) and Paterson's Standard Job Function Questionnaire (2008) were used. It’s reliability was estimated by Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0.87 and 0.89, respectively). The content validity was approved by specialists in the field. To analyze the statistical data, single group T test, Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis were used simultaneously. Data analysis was done using SPSS software. The results showed that the mean of intellectual capital in the sample was 3/31 and the mean of job performance was 3/32 which is significant at level (p <0/001). That is, intellectual capital and job performance in the sample are at the desired level. The relationship between intellectual capital and job performance is positive and significant (correlation coefficient is 0/24 and significant level is p <0/001) and coefficient of correction is 0/056. Therefore, job performance scores can be explained by a combination of intellectual capital components and also based on the coherence indices, there is a linear between the predictor variables and the results of the regression model are reliable. The condition for the normalization of the variables is based on the Kelmo-Grove-Smirnov test. Considering the desirability of the status of intellectual capital and job performance, as well as the positive and significant relationship between the components of intellectual capital and the job performance in the sports and youth of Khorasan Razavi, it is suggested to hold reflection sessions and in-service training courses for scientific and updated promotion it in these offices.
