The Influence of Intellectual Capital Efficiency on Innovation Performance: Mediated by Environmental Innovations – Conceptual Review

This study aims to explore the mediating role of environmental innovation in the relationships among structural capital, human capital, relational capital, and innovation performance. The methodology used is a structured conceptual framework that combines literature from relevant previous studies to develop and analyze conceptual models. The analysis shows that the three components of intellectual capital have a significant positive effect on innovation performance, both directly and indirectly through environmental innovation. In managing internal resources and integrating environmental innovation, it is important to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. The originality of this study lies in the role of environmental innovation as a mediator that has not been comprehensively explored in prior contexts. The practical implication of this research is the importance of effectively managing the three components of intellectual capital to improve innovation performance, especially in the police force, by implementing various strategies and emphasizing environmental innovation to increase effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability in the performance of duties and to increase public trust.
