    Introduction

    Today's global world relies on organizations as institutions to meet needs. Modern man is in various fields. Therefore, today human life is inseparably tied to the way organizations operate, in such a way that any society in which organizations perform their duties in a more competent way provides a better level of well-being for its people.

    One of the most important fields in the continuation of today's societies is the economic field. Economy, like other areas of modern life, depends on organizations to perform their functions, financial markets are one of the most important sectors in the modern world economy (Mazloumi et al., 2012, p. 2), and two industries, banking and insurance, are leading and important industries in financial markets, whose financial performance is the most important goal of the current research.

    The performance of an organization is the degree of success of an organization in creating value for different parts of the market. Because all the efforts of an organization in all areas should be clear in its performance and most organizations try to improve their performance by using various tools and mechanisms, for this purpose measuring the performance status is one of the important categories and attention of organizations (Lin & Kuo, 2007, P.1066). In general, organizational performance is an indicator that measures the extent to which a company achieves its goals (Wagner. et al., 2012, p. 3), so organizations need to measure their financial and non-financial performance to check their situation (Azar and Daneshwar, 2016, p. 124). Intellectual capital is a type of capital that is known as an intangible asset of an organization and is claimed to be a valuable asset in the organization (Srivihok, 2008).

    Intellectual capital consists of things such as knowledge, information, intellectual property and experience that can be used for wealth creation. Intellectual capital in a broader and acceptable view consists of three axes: human, structural and communication. Human capital can be considered to include things such as knowledge, education, skills, innovation and problem solving ability. Structural capital includes all non-human reserves of knowledge in companies. Most of the communication capital is in the knowledge hidden in marketing channels and communication with customers (Qurbani et al., 2009). In this chapter, statement of the problem, importance of research and hypotheses, theoretical framework, conceptual and operational definitions; and also the scope of the research are investigated. 1-2 Statement of the problem Today, organizations and managers have to find new ways to adapt to global changes and developments so that they can remain in the domestic and global competition scene (Faizi, 2016) and have better performance than competitors.

    1-2 Statement of the problem

    Nowadays, organizations and managers have to find new ways to adapt to global changes and developments so that they can remain in the domestic and global competition scene (Faizi, 2016) and have better performance than competitors. financial and performance-based scales have been emphasized (Rahnvard, 2017). Organizational performance is measurable results, decisions and organizational actions that indicate the degree of success in the achievements (Tangen, 2004). . By examining the performance of Iranian companies, it is possible to witness the fluctuating and controversial trend of growth and investment return rate over the past 10 years, while experts know the potential of companies in Iran's capital market in terms of better performance (Yousfi, 1389). Where is today's complex and dynamic environment is very important for organizations (Hassanzadeh and Zare, 2017, p. 9).

    Given that organizations are facing an environment that is characterized by increasing complexity, globalization, and dynamism, therefore, organizations are facing new challenges for their continuity and establishment, and overcoming these challenges requires more attention to the development and strengthening of internal skills and abilities, which is done through the foundations of organizational knowledge and intellectual capital. organizations use them to achieve better performance in the business world. Knowledge and intellectual capital have been recognized as sustainable strategies for obtaining and maintaining the competitive advantage of organizations (Pahlavanian, 2013).

    Today, intellectual capital, including knowledge, experience, personal skills, good relationships, and technological ability, is considered an important source of competitive advantage and a key factor in company profitability. Two important factors that have increased the quality of companies' performance over the past two decades are globalization and increasing technological changes. In this environment, intellectual capital and intangible assets are important success factors. In the new economic competition, knowledge-based assets provide an inherent competitive advantage (Mojtahedzadeh et al., 2019, p. 110). Today, the intangible aspect of the economy is based on intellectual capital, and its first and main ingredient is knowledge and information. In order to participate in today's markets, organizations need information and knowledge in any form and type to improve their performance (Khavandkar et al., 2017).

    Given that knowledge assets in many knowledge-based organizations are considered as primary sources of competitive advantage (Lev, 2001). The knowledge-based business environment requires an approach that new organizational intangible assets such as knowledge and competencies of human resources, innovation, relationships with It includes the customer, organizational culture, systems, organizational structure, etc. In the meantime, the theory of intellectual capital has attracted the increasing attention of academic researchers and organizational practitioners. On the other hand, in today's knowledge-based economy, intellectual capital is an important part of the value of companies. The ability to manage and control intellectual capital requires that companies be able to identify, measure and report on intellectual capital. (Meer-Kooistra et al., 2001, P.459)

    Human capital can be considered the most important assets of the organization. Therefore, it is expected that organizations that have higher intellectual and human capital will also have higher financial performance. Intellectual capital is a capital beyond physical assets and tangible assets. Today, the contribution of intellectual capital due to the production of knowledge and information and as a result the production of wealth in the knowledge-based economy can play an important role in creating added value and gross domestic product. For this reason, at the level of economic enterprises, the financial performance of organizations can be affected by intellectual assets and human capital (Roshani Asal et al., 2012, p. 2). As a service sector, the insurance industry has a compensatory and protective role in the economy of any country; So that the successful operation of this industry creates an incentive and stimulus for other industries and the development of that economy; Therefore, to achieve this in any economy, insurance companies, like any other company, must have a strong and successful performance in fulfilling their mission, goals and strategies.
