The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of human resources management and intellectual capital on the organizational performance. Indeed, this study has been done based on the human capital theory and objective-based theory. Human resource theory adopts a cost-benefit perspective in investigating human resource management. The theory describes the relationship between human resource management and intellectual capital. On the other hand, resource-based perspective implies that any organization is a unique institute in combining its resources and capabilities. The theory also indicates that more intellectual capital results in better organizational performance. The present study is a practical research from purpose view and is a descriptive-survey one from research methodology perspective. The statistical population includes 220 employees of physical education organization in the city of Kermanshah. A sample of 140 employees has been selected from this population through stratified sampling method. The sample size was defined based on Morgan sampling table. A self-administrated questionnaire was used for collecting the research data. The reliability and validity of the questionnaire were measured and confirmed trough content validity and Cronbacsh’ Alpha Coefficient relatively. The coefficients confirmed its validity and reliability. In order to analyze the research data and test the hypotheses, SMART-PLS was used. The findings revealed that human resource management influences intellectual capital significantly. Based on another part of our findings, human resource management and intellectual capital influences organizational performance significantly. Finally, the mediating role of human resource management in the relationship between intellectual capital and organizational performance was significant.
