Abstract

Universities are mainly institutions in which knowledge is generated and disseminated. Therefore, it can be expected that universities play an important role in economic and social development based on a knowledge-based economy and, for the sake of achieving this goal, the use of all capacities, including intellectual capital, as an intangible asset, is important. The purpose of this research is to investigate the role of intermediary capital of communication on the relationship between human capital and the performance of faculty members and instructors in higher education centers of Jihad-e-Agriculture in 1397. In this regard, a sample of 140 people was selected using the Cochran formula with stratified random sampling. In order to collect data, the Nati and Narrator questionnaire (2017) was used. Validity (content, convergence and divergence), and reliability (Cronbach's alpha coefficient, composite and probability coefficient) of questionnaires indicate that the research measure expressions have a good validity and reliability. The analytical results by structural equation modeling using SMART-PLS3 software showed that both human capital and capital ratios have a positive and significant effect on performance. In addition, the variable of communicative capital plays a mediator effect on the relationship between human capital and performance.
