Abstract
The emergence of modern societies has created many challenges for organizations to counter hyper competition in the market. In this regard, firms that are innovatively using their intellectual resources have not only preeminent chances to grow and sustain in intensive competitive milieu but also reap significant performance in the marketplace. Therefore, the main endeavor of this study is to investigate the impact of intellectual capital on organizational performance of small and medium enterprises of Pakistan. Further, the mediating role of entrepreneurial orientation which is recently recognized as the most crucial factor in ameliorating firm performance is also empirically tested in the model. The study has employed structural equation modeling (SEM) and principle component analysis (PCA) to test the mediating model. It has been found that human capital and relational capital have direct and indirect effect on organizational performance while structural capital does not show any direct relationship with organizational performance. The findings of this research facilitate the policy makers, practitioners and entrepreneur’s/owner mangers of Pakistan in particular and other developing country in general to formulate strategies that can accelerate performance and strengthen SMEs operations across borders.
