The main goal of this research is to identify a relationship between intellectual capital and organizational agility through the mediating of organizational learning. The presented study is an applied and correlational research method based on structural equation modeling. 218 teachers of Zahedan high schools were studied by the stratified random sampling method. To collect information, three questionnaires were used: intellectual capital (adapted from Bontis, 1998), organizational agility (Soleimani, 2013) and organizational learning (Chiva, 2007). For data analysis, the Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling were used by SPSS and Lisrel. Based on results, the amount of the correlation coefficient of intellectual capital with organizational agility (r=0.566, p<0.01), intellectual capital with organizational learning (r=0.378, p<0.01), organizational learning with organizational agility (r=0.424, p<0.01) was significant. The direct effect of intellectual capital on organizational agility (β=0.56, t=6.56), the direct effect of intellectual capital on organizational learning (β=0.39, t=5.12) and the direct effect of organizational learning on organizational agility (β=0.2, t=2.89) were significant. The indirect effect of intellectual capital on organizational agility was also significant with the mediator role of organizational learning (β=0.078). Therefore, intellectual capital can lead to organizational learning and organizational agility.
