Abstract

The role of intellectual capital and absorptive capacity in enhancing firm performance has gained significant attention in recent years, especially within the context of developing countries. Indonesian fisheries, being a critical sector for the country's economy, require effective management of intellectual resources to drive innovation and improve performance. This study aims to investigate the influence of intellectual capital and absorptive capacity on innovation and firm performance in Indonesian fisheries companies, with a particular focus on the mediating role of innovation and the moderating role of environmental uncertainty. The research employs a quantitative approach using a descriptive research design. Data were collected from 70 Indonesian fisheries companies through surveys. The collected data were analyzed using Partial Least Square (PLS) method with the help of WarpPLS software. This study found that intellectual capital and absorptive capacity impact innovation and company performance Additionally, innovation mediates the relationship between intellectual capital, absorptive capacity, and company performance The influence of absorptive capacity on innovation is moderated by environmental uncertainty. The findings suggest that enhancing intellectual capital and absorptive capacity can lead to improved innovation and firm performance, particularly in dynamic and uncertain environments. This highlights the need for fisheries companies to invest in intellectual resources and develop robust absorptive capacities to sustain competitive advantage.
