Objective: Perceived intellectual capital, as an intangible organizational asset, plays a key role in increasing the organization's ability to cope with challenges and crises. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of managers' perceived intellectual capital on perceived organizational antifragility by analyzing the mediating role of external organizational communications. It also intended to analyze how knowledge, information, and resources could be transferred from the external environment into the organization by focusing on organizational antifragility through such communications.
Methodology: This research was applied in terms of purpose and was a descriptive survey based on structural equation approach in terms of method. The statistical population included managers and employees of government organizations in Lorestan Province. We used the Cochran formula to determine the sample size, and at a confidence level of 95 percent, we selected 384 people through simple random sampling method.
Findings: Findings indicate that the intellectual capital desired by managers has a positive and significant effect on perceived antifragility in the organization.
Originality: This research can help organizations develop strategies to strengthen managers' intellectual capital and improve external communications, which consequently can increase organizational antifragility and make organizations more capable in the face of crises and environmental changes.
Implications: Organizations maintaining effective communications with external stakeholders can increase not only their resilience, but also their antifragility capacity in critical situations. Additionally, they can grow, develop, and perform better in turbulent environments by learning from new complex and critical situations.
