This research aims to reveal the relationships between intellectual capital components and firm performances of banks operating in the Borsa Istanbul financial sector. Within the scope of the research, the data of the banks whose shares were listed on the stock exchange between 2008 and 2021 and whose data were fully accessible as of the first quarter of 2023, when the research was conducted, were analyzed. The data set was prepared as panel data. Six models were developed and tested within the scope of the research. While investigating the interaction between variables, correlation and regression analyzes were applied. As a result of the analysis; While there was no relationship between structural capital (ROA), one of the components of intellectual capital ROE), and return on assets, it was found to have a negative and significant relationship with return on equity. Another important finding of the research is that physical capital, among the intellectual capital components, affects return on assets and return on equity the most. The other component of intellectual capital, human capital, also affects return on assets and return on equity significantly and positively. Revealing the effects of intellectual capital components on ROA and ROE from firm performances will be important for making future decisions for both bank managers and bank shareholders.

The research sample consists of thirteen firms and covers the years between 2010 and 2020.

This study investigates the relationship between intellectual capital and firm performance in the period of 2010-2020 using the data of 2.619 listed manufacturing firms from Brasil, India, Indonesia, South Africa, and Turkey. The first contribution of the study to the literature is the use of data from "fragile five" countries, which are the most delicate economies among developing countries, rather than the data from developed countries. Secondly, instead of sectors such as banking, technology, and services, which can be understood intuitively as being intellectual capital intensive, the manufacturing sector firms, which are known as physical and financial capital intensive, are examined. Finally, the most appropriate econometric method for the characteristics of the data is determined and applied. The findings of the study show that the capital employed efficiency has a positive effect on firm performance in all countries. The results regarding human capital efficiency, which is an important component of intellectual capital, point out that human capital is still underestimated in developing countries, and its effect on firm performance cannot be observed due to the lack of necessary investment in human capital. It is observed that the structural capital component of intellectual capital is an element that has been recognized and invested in developing countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this study is to develop a scale for measuring the intellectual capital in primary schools and to examine intellectual capital in terms of some variables. The population of this study, which is in a descriptive scanning model, consists of the teachers working in the primary schools in Malatya in 2012-2013 academic year. The sample of this study consists of the teachers who were selected randomly from the population by disproportional cluster sampling method. After performing the pre-application of the scale on 160 teachers, validity and reliability tests were performed. Then, the questionnaires were administered to 480 teachers. After performing the validity and reliability analyses, data was analyzed by multiple linear regression method. As a result of the analyses, this scale was found to have three dimensions such as; human capital, structural capital and relational capital. According to the results, while the variable of time which the teachers spend at school out of class hours predicts positively all the dimensions and the sum of the scale, the variable of the turnover rate of the teachers predicts the human capital negatively. The variable of "the number of teachers each school has" did not predict any dimension of intellectual capital. To increase all the dimensions of intellectual capital at schools, it would be helpful for ensuring the teachers to stay in school out of the class hours. Besides, to increase the human capital, it would be helpful for educational administrators to decrease the turnover rate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
