ABSTRACT

The study examined the effect of intellectual capital on the performance of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria. The objectives of the study are: to determine the effect of Human Capital Efficiency on the Return of Asset of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria. Also, : to examine the effect  of Structural Capital Efficiency on the Return of Asset of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria To achieve the objectives of the study, ex-post facto research design method was adopted. Data was generated through NSE fact book of 2018. In testing the hypotheses, panel pooled regression analysis was used. The findings revealed that there is insignificant effect of the effect of human capital structure in listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria. The researcher therefore recommends among other things that government of Nigeria should realize that for Nigeria to attain the desired vision of being one of the strongest twenty economics of the world, the must be a radical transformation and development of intellectual capital base. Strong Nations of the world such as United States of America (USA) Japan and China attained such feats because of their level of investment and development of their intellectual capital base. Also, since human capital is critical for the success of firms in all industry, there should be a review of the educational policies and standards to encourage Public Private Partnership in training of high quality human capital. Beyond having adequate high quality human capital, human capital becomes ineffective if it operates in poorly resourced environment.
