Abstract

Large defense and educational companies and organizations in the world have identified and investigated the relationship between the dimensions of intellectual capital, the methods of measuring and managing intangible assets as a comprehensive framework to provide a new way to improve and optimize their performance. Today, with more knowledge and awareness in the field of intangible assets and considering the effects of various sanctions on our country, we have realized this necessity and importance. The main purpose of the research is to identify and investigate the relationship between the dimensions of intellectual capital in the form of designing a model for measuring the intangible assets of the educational and research departments of defense organizations. The data collection tools were library, internet, interview and questionnaire, and the focus group and survey method were used to validate the collected data. To calculate the reliability of the questionnaire, Cronbach's alpha method was used, and to determine the validity of the questionnaire, it was confirmed by the experts of the focal group, and to confirm the validity of the model, the KMO and Bartlett technique and the factor analysis method were used. After designing the measurement model and confirming the validity of the model, the relationship between the human, organizational, social and communication capitals with intellectual capital and its effect on intellectual capital was investigated. The intellectual capital of military educational organizations by human capital, organizational capital, social capital and communication capital are evaluated. The coefficient of effect of all four types of capital is higher than 0.88, and with a slight difference, organizational, human, social and communication capitals have a higher coefficient of effect in this research.
