Introduction

Green Intellectual Capital: Intellectual capital is known to be the sum of all intangible organizational resources, knowledge and abilities, information, technologies, intellectual property, experience and organizational education, skills, communication systems, working teams and customer and brands relationships capable of creating competitive values or benefits for the attainment of their main objectives (Salvadó& Verde, 2014), Employees like to work in order to fulfill the goals and expectations of the company (Leonova et al.,2021),Intellectual money funds represent a combination of four factors: genetic factors, education, experience, and attitudes towards life and business (Liu, 2010).

In general, intellectual capital consists of three basic categories: human, structural and relational. Human capital is the accumulated tacit knowledge of any organization's personnel. Structural capital offers a tool for supporting people to improve work performance and organizational performance in general (Liu, 2010). Relational capital is relationship shares, in which organization can cooperate or communicate with companies, institutions and studying centers. And other clients, with strong levels of understanding, trust, relationship and cooperation (Chen, 2008), Green management became a major administrative goal for many organizations, because of its relevance in conserving the environment. A resource-based vision is based on the fact that organizations' competitive benefits stem from their main resources and capabilities, and that social and environmental responsibility can be a major capability that leads to a competitive advantage in their strategy and that sustainable capacity should be considered. Green management may therefore be an essential part of its type (Chang & Chen, 2012).

Here, Green management businesses can modify their competitive positions to get a competitive market advantage in terms of environmental consciousness. If green management is embraced, businesses might be forced to produce green goods or processes. Rather, it may generate high obstacles to market entry and, according to the institutional theory, it can help to get the support from other institutions and players who can get greater legitimacy.Stakeholder Theory (Chen & Chang, 2012) Here it is necessary to know that green management was defined in 2009 asprocess by whichorganization managesenvironment by developing strategies based on green intellectual capital. (Sudin, 2011), Despite its significance, definitions of green intellectual capital or environmental intellectual capital are rare. A sum of all sorts of intangible goods, knowledge, capacity, relationships and so on at the individual and organizational levels on environmental preservation or green innovation to obtain a competitive edge by controlling the environment.

He sees it as an expression concepts ofemployment of environmental in intellectual capital to compensate for its aspects Previous deficiencies in environmental issues, It representsintangible assets oforganization(Huang & Kung, 2011,1407), which are environmental protection understanding, knowledge, capability, expertise and creativity (Verde &Salvadó, 2014,263), refers toorganization's ability to generate new knowledge, new product and any innovative ideas aimed at addressing environmental issues (Yahya&Arshad, 2015).

Studying believes that it is environmental awareness of organization that leads it to adopt green management in all its activities and invest in its intangible assets in order to achieve creativity or green innovation, which leads to preservationof environment

Literature Review and Hypotheses

Dimensions of Green Intellectual Capital: According tostudyinger's perusal of a number of studyinges and studies interested in measuring intellectual capital Green, it has come toexistence of a single measure pertaining to Chen,2008 which consists of three dimensions: green human capital, green structural capital, and green relational capital. This scale has been used by a number of studyingers such as: Kung & Huang (2011); Yahya&Arshad(2015); Sultana&Zayed (2018); Verde &Salvadó (2014); Chang & Chen (2012). Thus studyingers have sufficient scientific justification to use this scale in Current search.Following is an explanation ofdimensions ofgreen intellectual money variables as follows.

Green Human Capital

Human capital in general isHuman Resource approach of motivation firmly advocates the notion of job satisfaction with a view to ensuring higher productivity of the employees (Murad et al.,2013), represented by all human resources with distinguished capabilities to occupy administrative and technical positions, which have innovative and superior creativity capabilities. These include employees ’advanced knowledge, accumulated experience of life and practical experience, and their technical and artistic skills. As well as their satisfaction, morale and cohesion as an integrated team, as for green human capital, it is a collection of employees' knowledge, skills, abilities, experiences, attitudes, wisdom, creativity, commitments, etc. related to environmental protection or green innovation (Chen & Chang, 2012).

Finally, most ofprevious studies concluded that green human capital can be formed from:Non-personnel working in organizations, and can be developed through training and education: 2008, (Chen, 2008) Here,role of green human resources management appears in directingattention and behavior of employees towards achieving sustainability goals (Huang & Kung, 2011).

Green Structural Capital: Environmental management and culture are a key part in formulation and implementation of environmental strategies to search for new opportunities or to obtain new competitive advantages. This calls for formation of a new concept known as "green structural capital", which is defined as cod stock. Corporate services, corporate duties, knowledge management systems, corporate culture, business photographs, patents, intellectual property rights and trademarks as well as environmental protection or green innovation inside the corporation; (Chen& Chang, 2012), It should be noted here, thatstructural capital consists of Several systems, for example: patents, innovation and discovery, copyright, trademarks, databases and information systems.

Relational green capital: It represents the aggregate of links between the company and its key stakeholders, such as customers, suppliers and partners. In light of green trends, firms should invest more resources in developing their environmental interests-relating connections in a way that allows them to retain closer ties with their external institutions and stakeholders. In this context, he created an organization-associated notion of relational green capital which is described as the inventory of interactive business interactions with customer, supplier, network members and partners, with links to the environmental management and green innovation of organization (Chen & Chang, 2012).

It consists of several parts related to customer satisfaction, meeting his needs and desires (loyalty), adherence and pride.By dealing with organization (and keeping it) continuity of working with organization and its ability to keep it with it) and empowering it by paying attention to his opinions and suggestions and taking them into consideration when planning new and existing products and deleting some of them when their market share decreases and their involvement in organization’s business and business deals and exchange of information and ideas with him. Studies show that green intellectual capital of an organization and its various intellectual components affect creativity capabilities, and insame way, organizations that manage their environmental capital appropriately adapt better tonew reality that emerges fromchallenge of sustainable development, Limited studies have been conducted that attempted to analyzeintangible green factors that underpinstrategies of green organizations orengines of green intellectual capital. However, despite this recent interest in internal factors, few studyingers have proven in practice, that contributes to developing sustainable strategies. However, number of invested resources in environmental management will increase green creativity of organizations (Salvadó& Verde, 2014).

If environmental concerns are regarded from a positive perspective, organizations tend to focus on stakeholder interests and exhibit more sophisticated environmental plans, including greater resources within green intellectual capital (Kung & Huang, 2008).

Knowledge Management Maturity

There is a small number of literature related to maturity of knowledge management in universities, and assessing knowledge management maturity in governmental and private organizations is important to determine current status of knowledge management and how it can improve knowledge management fields, according to previous studies, use of knowledge and knowledge management has become a crucial condition for continuationof life of dynamic organizations. And creativity, that ability to compete in markets and transactions is related to acquisition, development and implementation of individual and organizational knowledge, and below we will deal with concept of maturity of knowledge management according to opinions of a number of studyingers:

Knowledge management describes it as state of development and improves the quality and efficiency of management of knowledge and the adequacy of social and technical environments for organizational knowledge management (Ramo&Noon, 2018; wibowoa&waluyob, 2015) see it aspath in which knowledge management practices are developed and improved to bringorganization tohighest stage of maturity, which is creativity and excellence that enables it to develop and improve its knowledge (Ramo&Noon, 2018),It iseffectiveness in managing knowledge assets in organizations (Silva,2019).While Mikovie (2019)knows her It is a description oforganization's position when it comes to knowledge management and what can be improved in order to be able to compete inmarket (Mikovie, 2019), There are those who know it asorganization's ability to gain a sustainable competitive advantage by effectively managing scarce and valuable knowledge assets (Harono etal., 2019).

Dimensions of Knowledge Management Maturity: study (Hartono et al., 2019) and study (Kuriakose et al., 2011)dimensions have been relied upon to meet requirements of current studying, which are:

Individuals

The most essential components in the organization are the human resources and knowledge, which contribute to its competitiveness. Organizations must pay attention to human aspects in order to make the most use of their expertise by organizations. Institutions increasingly want to increase their members' commitment on the basis of different advantages linked to enhancing people's performance and better performance by means of emotional commitment. And promote knowledge use, minimize the turnover of work and boost the transfer rate of knowledge (Razzaq et al., 2018).

Operation

Process relates to aspects related to knowledge management activities that helporganization generate, discover, capture, share and apply knowledge, andbranching process spreads it among employees and works to transfer expertise and information and its management, work procedures and strategic planning inorganization (Hussink et al.,2017), It also means acquiring, understanding, storing, implementing and sharing knowledge inorganizational learning process that relates tostrategies and culture oforganization, and it is a complete systematic management strategy that distributes, transfers, develops, implements and stores knowledge in order to be able to increaseefficiency and effectiveness ofindividuals working inorganization(Gholami, 2013).

Skill

Non-Knowledge skills such as social skills play an important part in economic life and social abilities in the job market are increasingly valued. Human management abilities minimize the attrition of employees, especially attrition that company wants to avoid as well as organizational rewards, and they affect positively across hierarchical levels and countries. And professions, which provides an accurate quantitative estimate of administrative differences within a diversified organization(Hoffman&Tadeliis,2020).

Knowledge Performance

In a knowledge-based economy, in particular in high technology businesses that rely heavily on knowledge, know-how performance is typically important (Shoid&Kassim, 2016), Knowledge performance embodies creativity and future profit potential of organization (Watkins, 2017). Knowledge performance is a measure of the knowledge-building condition and the ability to improve creativity inside a company (Ortega et al., 2010). Gunjal(2019) indicated that human capital ismost important indicator of future economic health in any organization, Knowledge performance relates toability of individuals, teams, and organizations to understand what they have learned(Shoid et al., 2011).

Stated that traditions, culture, technology, processes, systems and procedures of any organization are always based on knowledge and experience (Lee et al., 2005). It shows (Pour et al., 2018), Sustainable knowledge is split into 4 subsystems, among which acquisition, creativity, storage and transport. The knowledge performance pertains to a person and a team and an organization's capacity to grasp what they learnt (Shoid&Kassim,2014).

Indicated that it iscreation and promotion of products and services due toability of learning and knowledge (Kim, 2016), throughmain indicators of intellectual capital. Knowledge performance is outcome of knowledge management and describes its outcomes (Ebrahimi et al., 2020). Santiago(2020) adds that knowledge performance is knowledge generated within organization (as a result of learning, information distribution, integration, etc.), while it is used to create new products that improve competitive position of organization.

Importance of knowledge performance: the performance of knowledge depends on the organizational culture of a firm, which can benefit from stress reduction and motivation and empowerment of employees. The positive attitude to errors is facilitated by improving exchange of information and learning from errors (Shoid&Kassim, 2014). Employees are paid as a reward for the organization's performances and contribution, and the pay methods are extensively used to promote employee morals and motivate them more (Nahar&Zayed, 2019).

It is necessary to note that knowledge performance means more than just developing a new product. Measuring knowledge performance is critical for organization to verify whether knowledge management processes are achieving adequate results and to correct methods used when performance is low (Santiago, 2020; Shoid&Kassim, 2016).

Dimensional Knowledge Performance

Formalization

The term officialisation refers to the extent to which formal rules, standard policies and procedures regulate decision making and working interactions, which restricts knowledge production by regulating the chances of organizational members of communicating and interacting with one another (Shoid et al., 2011). Show (Shoid&Kassim, 2016) Higher flexibility and informal behavior can lead to increased knowledge building inside the organizational structure. Formalization and Organizational Routine, (Ortega et al., 2010) show that two notions are comparable. Implicit knowledge is explicit and codified through formalization.

Centralization

Day after day, globalization means that the market is becoming competitive every day. Business needs more skilled and inventive individuals in its organization to meet this competition and changing people's desire (Tumpa&Zayed, 2016), A low degree of centralization can complement and improve the performance of knowledge that may arise through formalism and complexity (Shoid et al., 2011). While decentralization of decision-making is caused by the allocation of authority across the various structural elements (Shoid&Kassim, 2016), decentralization encourages the involvement in strategic thought of a larger number of persons and the level of organization. This can help create knowledge, since other people take part in decision making and more variety, and the quantity of ideas and these ideas will probably be vital. Decentralization into lower levels of organisation.To improve the performance of knowledge (Ortega et al., 2010).

Complexity

Refers to the level of differentiation within the company (Shoid et al., 2011). Ortega, et al.,(2010) indicated that organizational complexity enhances formulation of proposals to generate new knowledge and their implementation for several reasons:

A. High degrees of complexity are based on a variety of experiences (knowledge heterogeneity) that can lead to a wide range of issues and information and knowledge available on how to solve difficulties.

B. Complexity includes diverse interests that might encourage new suggestions, as different professional groups, departments and classes strive to strengthen or defend the status of different professionals in companies.

C. Structural complexity is made feasible by the official or informal attribution of unique tasks, and may frequently necessitate modifications in organizational activities for certain roles and subunits. This enables institutional complexity to offer the variation necessary to generate knowledge, while at the same time facilitating internal uniformity between departments and units to improve the performance of knowledge.

Researcheradopted one-dimensional (Pertusa& Ortega,2010) scale for its applicability in studied company and its suitability for requirements of its practical reality.
