Using purposive sampling, 159 manufacturing companies were identified from 2017 to 2019, with N = 507 observations, by using path analysis and panel regressions. The research finding is a robust integrated model in which capital employee efficiency (CEE) and human capital efficiency (HCE) affect firm value when using (Tobin's Q) fully mediated through firm performance (ROI) and leverage (DER). The results obtained highlight the importance of the integrated model that places firm performance (ROI) and leverage as an intervening variable between the information content of VAIC and its effect on firm value, become a model for disclosing the information content of multidimensional intellectual capital.
