Abstract

This study examines the relationship between intellectual capital and financial performance of deposit money banks in Osun State, Nigeria. Intellectual capital, which includes human capital, structural capital, and relational capital, has increasingly become a critical factor for organizational success in the knowledge-based economy. The study adopts a descriptive research design and utilizes primary data collected through structured questionnaires administered to bank employees. Data analysis is conducted using descriptive statistics and regression analysis to determine the relationship between intellectual capital components and financial performance indicators such as return on assets and return on equity. The findings highlight the significant role of intellectual capital in improving operational efficiency, innovation, and profitability in the banking sector. The study concludes that banks that effectively manage their intellectual capital resources achieve better financial performance and competitive advantage.
