The impact of intellectual capital on organizational learning: (An applied study on a sample of private universities in Khartoum State, Sudan)

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of intellectual capital, in its three dimensions (human, structural, and customer), on improving organizational learning in private universities in Khartoum State, Sudan. A descriptive-analytical approach was employed, and a questionnaire was used as the primary data collection tool. Data was collected from a sample of 280 administrative staff members in the state's private universities, and the data were analyzed using modern statistical software. The results showed a significant impact of intellectual capital, in its three dimensions, on organizational learning. The findings emphasized the importance of enhancing organizational learning as a means to improve the utilization of intellectual and human resources, thereby contributing to increased university efficiency and the achievement of their strategic goals. The study concluded with a set of recommendations, most notably the need to develop human capital investment policies, strengthen the structural framework and knowledge systems, and adopt a culture of lifelong learning within private universities, which will positively impact their competitiveness.
