Abstract :
The purpose of the current descriptive and applied survey was to examine the effect of immaculate leadership on human resource productivity with regard to the mediating role of social capital. The research population included Knowledge-Based Companies in Khorramabad out of which an available sample of 197 employees were selected using Kukran formula. The research data were collected using a standardized questionnaire the content validity and reliability of which had initially been confirmed through expert views and Cronbach's alpha. The gleaned research data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with AMOS and SPSS software. The findings verified the positive and significant effect of immaculate leadership on social capital at confidence level of 0.95 and the significant increase it made in human resource productivity in Knowledge-Based companies. In addition, the analysis of indirect paths confirmed the significant role of social capital in moderating the effect of immaculate leadership on human resource productivity enhancement. The findings underscore the facilitative role of leadership skills like communication and motivation promoting skills in not only formation of communication networks among employees but also increasing profits and human resources through enhanced individual trust and reliability.
