Abstract

This study examines the relationship between intellectual capital and strategic foresight within the Iraqi Federal Commission of Integrity, focusing on the impact of human, structural, and relational capital. Using a structured questionnaire distributed to 200 employees, with 164 valid responses analyzed, the study employs a quantitative approach supported by statistical analysis through SPSS. Results reveal a significant and positive relationship between intellectual capital and strategic foresight, with each dimension contributing uniquely to enhancing foresight capabilities. Human capital fosters creativity and knowledge application, structural capital provides robust systems and processes, and relational capital strengthens external collaboration and information flow. The findings underscore the importance of intellectual capital as a strategic resource for anticipating and preparing for future challenges. Limitations of the study, including its focus on a single institution and reliance on self reported data, are acknowledged, with suggestions for future research to include diverse sectors, explore mediating variables, and adopt longitudinal designs. This study highlights the critical role of intellectual capital in fostering organizational foresight and resilience.
