Objective: In today's competitive landscape,
employee productivity plays a critical role in capital‑intensive industries such as petrochemicals. The growing importance of intangible capabilities—particularly organizational intelligence and organizational learning—as drivers of performance improvement and decision‑making quality has become increasingly evident. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between organizational intelligence and
organizational learning with
employee productivity in petrochemical companies located in the South Pars region.Methodology: This research is applied in purpose and descriptive‑correlational in design. The statistical population consisted of managers, supervisors, and experts working in petrochemical companies in the South Pars region, from which ۲۹۴ individuals were selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using standard questionnaires: Albrecht's (۲۰۰۳)
Organizational Intelligence Questionnaire, Niefe's (۲۰۰۱) Organizational Learning Questionnaire, and Hersey and Goldsmith's Productivity Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed in two stages: first, descriptive statistics, normality tests, and reliability assessment were conducted using SPSS; second, covariance‑based structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed using AMOS to test the conceptual model and causal relationships.Findings: The reliability of the instruments was satisfactory (Cronbach's alpha: organizational intelligence = ۰.۹۴,
organizational learning = ۰.۹۱,
employee productivity = ۰.۸۹). Model fit indices (χ²/df = ۲.۴۱, CFI = ۰.۹۳, RMSEA = ۰.۰۶۹) indicated a good fit for the proposed model. Both organizational intelligence and
organizational learning had positive and significant effects on employee productivity. Furthermore,
organizational learning significantly mediated the relationship between organizational intelligence and employee productivity.Conclusion: Strengthening cognitive and learning‑oriented organizational capabilities effectively enhances
employee productivity in petrochemical companies in the South Pars region. Simultaneous investment in organizational intelligence and learning systems represents a sustainable strategy for improving human resource performance in complex, knowledge‑intensive industries.
