Abstract
The present study has been conducted to determine the relation between the intellectual capital and the organisational trust. The research method used is descriptive-survey of correlational type. The statistical population consists of 320 employees in Khorasgan Campus of Islamic Azad University in the academic year of 2013-2014 using a sample of 175 people. The data gathering tool is an intellectual capital questionnaire based on the Bontis questionnaire (2010) as well as an organisational trust questionnaire based on the Mayer and Davis questionnaire (1999). Descriptive statistics including the frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation as well as inferential statistics using Pearson correlation coefficient, t-test and one-way regression analysis was used to analyse the data. Research findings demonstrate that there is a meaningful relationship between the human capital (p < 0.05, r = 0.673), the structural capital (p < 0.05, r = 0.513), and the customer capital(p < 0.05, r = 0.568), with the organisational trust. The results of stepwise regression show that the human capital is the first aspect and the relational capital is the second one among all the intellectual capital dimensions capable of predicting the organisational trust. This relation is not meaningful for the case of structural capital variable. The results also indicate that there is no meaningful difference in the respondents’ opinions about the intellectual capital and the organisational trust based on their demographic factors (age, sex, educations and work experience). As the intellectual capital is influencing with a high proportion the establishment of organisational trust, it is recommended that the university provides enough background to enhance the intellectual capital and therefore the organisational trust.
