Organizational Social Capital and Employment Practices
提出组织社会资本的概念,构建其构成与后果模型,指出雇佣实践是培育或抑制组织内社会资本的主要机制。
We introduce the construct of organizational social capital and develop a model of its components and consequences. Organizational social capital is defined as a resource reflecting the character of social relations within the organization. It is realized through members' levels of collective goal orientation and shared trust, which create value by facilitating successful collective action. We discuss employment practices as primary mechanisms by which social capital is fostered or discouraged within organizations.
