Abstract: Current successful and thriving organisations are those that create intellectual capital and convert it into applicable methods to improve their activities and performance. Furthermore, ethical climate is the key issue for such organisations gaining success in implementing the relevant supportive systems. Accordingly, the purpose of this research is to investigate the mutual interaction of ethical climate, intellectual capital, and organisational performance. To run this study, a conceptual model was designed based on a literature review and employees of a knowledge-based organisation were surveyed using a questionnaire. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to test the hypotheses and to identify the relationships among research variables. The results show that there is a positive and strong correlation between ethical climate and organisational performance. The relationship between ethical climate and intellectual capital (IC) is also positive and significant, but no significant relationship is observed between IC and organisational performance.
