The literature that empirically investigates the relationship between intellectual capital management and innovativeness in R&D institutions is scarce. In addition, no sources have been found to extend the analysis to include the technological orientation as a strategic approach to developing innovative capabilities. This study builds on the theoretical premises of the intellectual capital-based view of the firm and the dynamic capabilities view. This paper addresses a research gap, by setting out to study the impact of intellectual capital management on innovativeness in an R&D institute, while also considering the relationship with technological orientation. It is proposed that intellectual capital management, through its components human, structural and relational capital positively affect innovativeness in an R&D institute. Moreover, it is hypothesized that human capital and innovativeness positively affect innovativeness in an R&D institute. The research employs PLS-SEM analysis on data collected from a sample of (N = 61) employees of an R&D institute. Data has been acquired by means of a questionnaire measuring intellectual capital management through human, structural and relational capital components, as well as innovativeness and technological orientation. Findings confirm significant direct effects of structural and relational capital on innovativeness, as well as the positive direct effect of human capital and innovativeness on technological orientation. This research represents an original contribution to the academic literature, by bringing new evidence concerning the relationships between intellectual capital management, innovativeness and technological orientation in an R&D institute in Eastern Europe.

Literatura badająca empirycznie związek pomiędzy zarządzaniem kapitałem intelektualnym a innowacyjnością w instytucjach B+R jest nieliczna. Ponadto nie znaleziono żadnych źródeł pozwalających rozszerzyć analizę o orientację technologiczną jako strategiczne podejście do rozwijania zdolności innowacyjnych. Niniejsze badanie opiera się na teoretycznych przesłankach spojrzenia na przedsiębiorstwo, opartych na kapitale intelektualnym oraz na dynamicznym spojrzeniu na możliwości. Artykuł dotyczy luki badawczej, podejmuje próbę zbadania wpływu zarządzania kapitałem intelektualnym na innowacyjność w instytucie B+R, z uwzględnieniem związku z orientacją technologiczną. Proponuje się, aby zarządzanie kapitałem intelektualnym przez jego składowe, takie jak kapitał ludzki, strukturalny i relacyjny, pozytywnie wpływało na innowacyjność instytutu B+R. Ponadto stawia się hipotezę, że kapitał ludzki i innowacyjność pozytywnie wpływają na innowacyjność instytutu B+R. W badaniu wykorzystano analizę PLS-SEM na danych zebranych na próbie (N = 61) pracowników instytutu badawczo-rozwojowego. Dane pozyskano za pomocą kwestionariusza mierzącego zarządzanie kapitałem intelektualnym przez komponenty kapitału ludzkiego, strukturalnego i relacyjnego, oraz innowacyjność, a także orientację technologiczną. Wyniki potwierdzają znaczący bezpośredni wpływ kapitału strukturalnego i relacyjnego na innowacyjność, a także pozytywny bezpośredni wpływ kapitału ludzkiego oraz innowacyjności na orientację technologiczną. Badania te stanowią oryginalny wkład do literatury naukowej, dostarczając nowych dowodów dotyczących związków między zarządzaniem kapitałem intelektualnym, innowacyjnością i orientacją technologiczną w instytucie badawczo-rozwojowym w Europie Wschodniej.
