MEDIATING ROLE OF THE PERCEPTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL UNCERTAINTIES OF IMPACT ANALYSIS ON INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL AND CORE COMPETENCIES

Summary/Abstract: The point where intellectual capital turns into value and gains meaning and quality in the real world is expressed as core competencies, because the concept of core competencies is described as the area where the organization emphasizes its unique features or products in order to provide sustainable competitive advantage. Therefore, it is stated that intellectual capital affects core competencies and this approach is necessary for the motive of survival and competitive advantage. In the relation between the two concepts, the mediating effect of environmental conditions and the perception of environmental uncertainty is quite determinant. Modeling the relationship except perception of environmental uncertainty regarding to the conditions and situations may prevent accurate generalizations. Based on the literature and similar empirical researches in this field, this study discusses the impact analysis between intellectual capital and core abilities within the mediating role of the perception of environmental uncertainty. Impact analysis and mediation role were analyzed using the structural equation model and an online questionnaire was used as a data collection instrument. The Covid-19 global pandemic which took place while the study was in progress, did not allow to face-to-face questionnaire method during the data collection process of the study as a result of the pandemic affecting the whole world and people being quarantined at home. The sample of the research is entrepreneurs working in startups. Online surveys were sent to 2.762 entrepreneurs from 6.614 startups, which constitute the universe of the research, and data from 245 participants were included in the analysis of the research. In the data analysis of the research, AMOS, SPSS and LISREL software packages were preferred, and hypotheses created referring to hypothetical and empirical studies were tested with the structural equation model technique. As a result of this study, it was determined that the perception of environmental uncertainty has a mediating role in the impact analysis on intellectual capital and core competencies.
