Abstract
Introduction: With the advancement of science, the role of employees and human relations (human capital) in the development of the organization and society has become more apparent, drawing more attention to the discussion of social capital and intellectual capital, as well as their constructive role in the development and top organizational performance. As a result, the current study was designed at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences to create a quantitative model of intellectual capital promotion using a social capital approach.

The study tool included a 91-item questionnaire made by the researcher. The data from this study were analyzed using SPSS software using Amos structural equations.
Results: The research findings in the quantitative model of intellectual capital promotion with social capital approach consisted of 7 dimensions and 17 components, of which 3 dimensions and 7 components related to social capital included structural, relational, and cognitive capital; also, 4 dimensions of intellectual capital included human capital, structural capital, client’s reverence, and innovative capital, which had 10 components. Given that the coefficients of all the dimensions and components of the model (t>1.96) were significant and because in the structural model, almost all the fit indices were within the desired range, the appropriateness of the model was confirmed.
