“…The social trust represents the relational capital of individuals and it greatly enhances the willingness of individuals to share knowledge (Mu, Peng, & Love, ). If a team pays more attention to the accumulation of trust capital, the costs of communicating, coordinating, and combining each other's knowledge will decrease (Hsu & Hung, ). The cognitive dimension refers to resources that reside in shared vision and collective meanings among individuals to facilitate development of common sense making.…”

■ Knowledge sharing is a precondition for engineering project design teams to achieve an efficient design; however, designers are not always willing to share knowledge with other team members. To improve knowledge sharing, this article investigates the effect of knowledge leadership on knowledge sharing in engineering project design teams by examining the role of social capital. Our results show a significant indirect effect of knowledge leadership on knowledge sharing through the mediating role of social capital. Therefore, effective knowledge sharing depends on knowledge leaders to develop a share vision, and promote a trustworthy and collaborative environment for designers.

“…Regarding the business performance variable, the reviewed literature supports the relationship between social capital and different organizational outputs (e.g., Andrews 2010; Hsu and Hung 2013; Wang and Chen 2016, Bellavitis et al 2017). For instance, Hsu and Hung (2013), in an information system development context, conclude that each social capital dimension -structural, relational and cognitive-, and their peer interaction, have a positive impact on both performance and systems development processes. Similarly, Wang and Chen (2016) show different influences that diverse network structures have on the business performance of start-ups, measured through their annual sales.…”

“…In addition, the dimensions suggested by these authors -structural, relational and cognitive-seems to summarise all the aspects that underpin social capital as a valuable resource to firms because it is capable of providing rents, both Ricardian (those that are gained because of the possession or control of unique resources), and specifically relational (Nahapiet and Ghoshal 1998). Consequently, this is the most commonly used dimensional differentiation in social capital literature (Zheng 2010;Hsu and Hung 2013) for the purposes of examining its impact on issues such as organizational results (Leana and Pil 2006;Andrews 2010;Hsu and Hung 2013), knowledge acquisition and transfer (Presutti et al 2007;Preston et al 2017) or innovation (Tsai and Ghoshal 1998;Zheng 2010;Delgado et al 2011).…”

El principal objetivo de este trabajo es mostrar la relevancia estratégica del capital social organizacional desde un punto de vista teórico. En los últimos años, la literatura académica relacionada con este concepto ha experimentado un notable crecimiento, reconociendo que el capital social es un elemento fundamental para que las empresas generen ventajas competitivas. Sin embargo, se podría afirmar que su desarrollo es todavía incipiente al existir multitud de discrepaciancias entre los investigadores acerca de su conceptuación, la medición de sus dimensiones o los efectos positivos o negativos que podría tener sobre otras variables. Por este motivo, tomando como referencia la definición y dimensiones propuestas por Nahapiet y Ghoshal (1998), se ha realizado una revisión de las investigaciones que, de manera empírica, han estudiado las relaciones entre el capital social y distintos tipos de resultados organizacionales. Igualmente, se exponen diferentes nexos teóricos encontrados entre el capital social y los principales enfoques en Dirección Estratégica como son Enfoque Basado en el Capital Intelectual, el Enfoque Basado en el Conocimiento, el Enfoque Basado en los Recursos y el Enfoque Basado en las Capacidades dinámicas. Se concluye que el capital social, como recurso basado en el conocimiento, podría permitir el acceso a otros recursos internos o externos,

“…As described previously, relational capital is the mechanism, which is embedded in individuals and utilized by interactions among the individuals and their networks of relationships [16]. In recent years, the importance of interaction effect of social capital on performance has been highlighted [1] [27]. In the explorative innovation activities, development of new IT-related applications often requires cross-functional collaboration [29][32].…”

In turbulent business environments, firms are increasingly relying on information technology (IT) to enhance their agility to meet multiple market demands. IT departments then play an important role in maintaining an appropriate balance between explorative and exploitative IT innovation strategies to enable the agility. This study contributes to the information systems (IS) literatures by gaining a broader understanding of how the intellectual capital of IT departments can influence the IT explorativeexploitative innovation strategies, and the impact of these strategies on organizational performance. The empirical data collected from 122 IT managers in Taiwan's manufacturing firms show that human capital positively affects the two innovation strategies, structural capital has significant positive effect only on explorative innovation strategy, relational capital has positive moderating effect on the relationship between human capital and explorative innovation strategy, and both the two innovation strategies positively influence the IT department performance, which in turn facilitates the organization performance.
