Background & Aims: Universities have a special place in the knowledge-based economy. Today, intellectual capital measurement is available in higher education systems as a suitable tool for designing, planning and using resources. In fact, higher education institutions should use the intellectual capital evaluation framework as an innovative tool to face the challenges of managing and expanding intellectual resources to the society. Intellectual capital is knowledge, experience and information that provides value creation in the organization. Also, the evaluation of academic intellectual capital can provide good information for educational management and leadership. Previous studies have shown that knowledge translation has led to a reduction in costs and, as a result, faster completion of projects. Therefore, explaining these issues in identifying the ambiguities and gaps in the process of organizational knowledge management, providing suitable solutions to strengthen and expand the process of knowledge translation in industries, and informing and clarifying the importance of implementing knowledge translation for academic researchers who have questions It will be a lot, and on the other hand, paying attention to the intellectual capital of the university to create innovation and gain a competitive advantage is an unavoidable necessity because intellectual capital should be considered as intellectual material that has become stronger to generate wealth through the production of assets. One of the challenges of using knowledge translation in health issues is transferring the generated knowledge to practical practice and solving health system problems. In order for knowledge translations to be effective, they must be able to be used as a guide for decision-making in policies related to the health system. Cultural and organizational governance is also important for accurate and efficient translation and transfer of knowledge. In general, this issue depends on the minimization of organizational walls between researchers, policy makers and health managers and requires more cooperation and coordination in this field. Therefore, to solve this problem, there is a need to spread knowledge translation in the scientific community and health organizations. This can be done by holding training courses and conferences, providing practical guidance and developing a suitable organizational culture for knowledge transfer. Also, providing virtual infrastructure and suitable electronic tools for sharing knowledge translation can improve. Finally, it is necessary for faculty members to actively participate in the process of knowledge translation, and by achieving this skill, it is guaranteed that they will be able to improve the knowledge they need and use it in the future. Therefore, the current research was conducted with the aim of the effect of knowledge translation on the intellectual capital of faculty members of universities of medical sciences in the first region to present a model.
Methods: The present study method was mixed (qualitative and quantitative) with an exploratory design. The statistical population in the qualitative department was specialists, experts, and professors of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, 20 people were identified using the purposeful sampling method, and based on the saturation law, 10 people were determined and selected as a statistical sample. In a small part of the comments, 1,851 professors of the academic faculties of the universities of medical sciences in the health sector of the country were used, and according to the Cochran formula, 320 people were selected as a statistical sample using a stratified random sampling method based on the faculty. The study tool was the questionnaire made by the researcher and the Bontis intellectual capital questionnaires. Data analysis was done using MAXQDA, SPSS, and PLS software.
Results: The findings of the research showed that the most important dimensions of the knowledge translation questionnaire based on the ranking of the components are the research environment component, human resource development, knowledge production, knowledge sharing, research content, organizational culture, knowledge application, and the component Knowledge-centric strategy. Also, it showed that the effect of knowledge translation on intellectual capital is positive and significant on the intellectual capital of faculty members of medical sciences universities in Region 1, and the predictive power of the model in the final structure has a moderate structural fit.
Conclusion: In a general statement, it can be stated that the translation of knowledge in various categories such as organizational culture, knowledge production, research environment, development of human resources, and core knowledge plays an important role in influencing the intellectual capital of the organization and to the development of knowledge, creating The culture of learning helps to promote research and development, improve human resources and promote valid and usable knowledge in the organization and supports the increase in productivity and overall performance of the organization.
