This document conceptualizes the intertwined nexus of intellectual capital and firm performance. The work also focuses on managerial ownership for moderating the effect between intellectual capital and performance. The alluded conceptual framework is valid for overall industries. This work uses a population of the Malaysian oil and gas industry. The census sampling technique is used. Based on prior studies and resource-based view theory, the study argues that the rise in organization value is directly related to the increased investment in intellectual capital. Besides, the document uses agency theory for conceptualizing managerial ownership for its multiplying effect between intellectual capital and performance. The study proposes a renowned �VAIC� model for computing intellectual capital. The document uses three performance indicators from management, shareholders, and the market perspective. The study provides essential intuitions to policymakers and practitioners on the crucial application of intellectual capital in value creation and providing a competitive advantage to the firms. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
