Abstract
Nowadays, considering the dynamic and complex conditions facing organizations, intellectual capital is becoming an important asset for organizations. The aim of this research was to design a structural model of intelligent intellectual capital in medical universities. This research was conducted in a descriptive and mixed exploratory manner. In the qualitative part, in order to identify the components, interviews were conducted with 10 academic experts in the field of management who were selected using a purposeful judgment method. In the quantitative part, the statistical population was 140 managers (senior, middle, operational) of the units of the University of Medical Sciences in Region One of the country, and the sample size was determined as 103 people based on the Krejci and Morgan table and by simple random sampling method. The findings of the qualitative part show that this model has 22 components in 5 dimensions (causal, contextual, intervening factors, strategies and actions, and consequences). Also, the findings of the quantitative section show that causal factors have an impact of 0.880 on intelligent intellectual capital, and intelligent intellectual capital, contextual and interfering factors have an impact of 0.371, 0.326 and 0.345 on strategies and actions, and strategies and actions also have an impact of 0.563 on outcomes.
