The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between strategic human resource management (SHRM) practices and intellectual capital (IC) in Isfahan state universities. A multiple correlational survey design with a stratified random sampling (n = 492) was utilized. The SHRM practices questionnaire based on Chen and Hung's study (2009), first tested locally through a pilot study and then IC questionnaire adopted from Torres (2006) were administered. On the whole study sample the questionnaires' face and content validity confirmed by experts and their reliability were estimated 0.95 and 0.93 respectively through Cronbach's alpha coefficient. SHRM practices and IC components mean scores were lower than mean criteria. Statistically significant multiple relationships were found between SHRM practices and IC. Beta coefficients among SHRM practices and IC components were significant and regression model was also significant. Key words: Strategic human resources practices, intellectual capital, human capital, structural capital, relational capital.
