The components of intellectual capital and organisational performance inwaqfinstitutions: evidence from Algeria based on structural equation modelling

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between the sub-components of intellectual capital and organisational performance in waqf institutions in Algeria. Design/methodology/approach Data was collected through structured questionnaires from a sample of 193 waqf employees working in 23 different provinces in Algeria and analysed using partial least squares – structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) software to test the path modelling and the relationship between the instruments. Findings The results of this research show that human capital, structural capital and spiritual capital have a positive and significant relationship with organisational performance. However, relational capital, social capital and technological capital did not demonstrate any kind of role in the context of waqf institutions in Algeria. Practical implications The findings of this research are of great importance for waqf institutions in Algeria, as they provide a comprehensive screening with regard to organisational performance of these institutions through the lens of intellectual capital. The findings help waqf managers and policy makers consider effective solutions for the weaknesses and challenges impeding the performance of waqf institutions, in the hope of retrieving their role in serving and developing societies. Originality/value In the existing body of literature, there is a lack of research focusing on intellectual capital in the context of religious non-profit organisations particularly waqf institutions. Thus, this research adds to the body of knowledge on intellectual capital while highlighting its role and importance within the waqf industry, particularly in the context of Algeria. This research is considered among the primary attempts to investigate the impact of intellectual capital components on the organisational performance of waqf institutions in Algeria.

The effect of intellectual capital on audit fees stickiness

“…Secondly, in a more precise manner, this study may extend auditing literature by explaining auditors’ responses to the different IC components (ICCs) independently if they are noticed. As it is extensively documented in the IC literature, the ICCs are expected to be valued by individuals differently, as they have various impacts on firm performance, mainly financial and organisational performance as the primary outcome of businesses (Laallam et al , 2022; Bataineh et al , 2022; Bansal et al , 2022; Agomor et al , 2022), as well as corporate social responsibility performance, as the secondary outcome of companies (Nirino et al , 2022; Tsai and Mutuc, 2020; Gallardo-Vázquez et al , 2019; Aras et al , 2011). Consequently, presenting detailed findings addressing the role of individual ICCs in a given company may suggest valuable managerial, practical and social implications.…”

Religiosity and entrepreneurial motivation roles in the goal-specific relation: a case of Muslim students in Indonesia

“…Furthermore, religiosity affects entrepreneurial intention (Fikrianoor et al , 2021), entrepreneurial motivation (Acheampong, 2017; van der Westhuizen and Adelakun, 2021) and entrepreneurial self-efficacy (Charzyńska et al , 2021). Islam is believed to build human capital and social capital within a country (Laallam et al , 2022). Junaidi (2022) also suggested that religiosity affects Muslim attitudes and commitment.…”
