The impact of intellectual capital, organizational capabilities and innovation on firm performance of textile sector: A moderating effect of GSP plus

Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between intellectual capital, organizational capabilities, Innovations and firm performance through the moderating role of GSP Plus status. The findings show that intellectual capital, organizational capabilities, and Innovations have a significant impact on firm performance. Additionally, the GSP Plus moderates the relationship between intellectual capital and firm performance. The GSP Plus also moderates the relationship between Innovation and firm performance. However, GSP Plus does not moderate the relationship between organizational capabilities and firm performance. The findings of this study would guide the textile exporters to understand how to enhance a firm's performance by giving preference to the intellectual capitals, Organizational Capabilities and Innovations and how to utilize the GSP Plus status effectively.
