The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between intellectual capital and performance of the companies listed in Bursa Malaysia. Using data drawn from 35 companies listed in Bursa Malaysia for the period of 2008 to 2017, regression model is constructed to examine the relationship between the components of intellectual capital, which are Human Capital Efficiency (HCE), Structural Capital Efficiency (SCE) and Capital Employed Efficiency (CEE), and the performance of the companies measured using the variable Return on Assets (ROA). Data collected are analyzed using statistical software EViews and the outcome has been interpreted according to the statistical rule. As a result, the overall outcome can be concluded that Structural Capital Efficiency (SCE) and Capital Employed Efficiency (CEE) indicate positive relationship for influencing the performance of the companies listed in Bursa Malaysia. Additionally, Human Capital Efficiency (HCE) shows a negatively weak relationship with firm performance.
