Purpose: This study investigates the impact of Knowledge Intelligence on the behavioral integration of senior management teams in the oil sector, with a focus on Misan Oil Company in Iraq. It explores the theoretical and practical dimensions of Knowledge Intelligence—including social capital and team creativity—and how they influence behavioral integration components such as information sharing, collaborative due diligence, and joint decision-making.

Research methodology: A field survey was conducted involving 50 management team members from Misan Oil Company. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS and Smart PLS software to examine the relationships between Knowledge Intelligence and behavioral integration.

Results: The analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between Knowledge Intelligence and behavioral integration (correlation coefficient = 0.307, p = 0.03). Among the dimensions, social capital had the highest interaction mean (M = 3.90), while innovation participation was the lowest (M = 2.98), indicating limited engagement. The findings suggest efforts are being made to improve creativity through innovative programs, but there remains a need for enhanced communication, strategic decision-making, and employee involvement in innovation.
