Descriptive survey reveals strong links between intellectual capital and operational effectiveness in pharmaceutical manufacturing firms, highlighting the strategic value of process innovation.

Key Points

To evaluate the relationship between dimensions of intellectual capital—specifically innovation capital and process capital—and the organizational performance of pharmaceutical manufacturing firms.
Conducted a descriptive survey using structured questionnaires administered to permanent employees across 20 purposively selected pharmaceutical manufacturing firms (N = 100).
Assessed questionnaire reliability via the test-retest method and internal consistency via Cronbach's alpha (coefficients ranging from 0.625 to 0.790).
Analyzed data using descriptive statistics and evaluated hypotheses using the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient.
Innovation capital exhibited a strong, statistically significant positive relationship with production effectiveness (r = 0.712, p < 0.05).
Process capital demonstrated a strong, statistically significant positive relationship with operational efficiency (r = 0.684, p < 0.05).
