“…This study found that, in this instance, when PCB and turnover intention are high, employees reporting high social status demonstrated lower turnover intentions as a result of PCB. Previous research has shown that opportunities or advantages often accrue to individuals in high status positions through better opportunities (Leana and Van Buren, 1999) and thus they are more likely to develop attitudes that are more positive, based on social exchange theory, to deal with negative consequences of breach.…”

The aim of this study is to examine whether social networks reduce the effects of psychological contract breach on an employee’s intention to leave the organisation. This paper focusses on two particular elements of the social network in an organisation: (1) social status and (2) local ties/connectedness. Using a sample of 242 responses from officers in the Irish Defence Forces, the results provide empirical evidence of the impact of psychological contract breach on officer turnover intentions. The results also demonstrate that perceptions of social networks moderate the relationship between psychological contract breach and turnover intentions through social status. Contrary to expectations, strong connectedness with senior officers was also found to be a moderator but not in the direction that was hypothesised. The theoretical and practical implications of these results are discussed.

“…Social capital can be divided into private goods social capital and public goods social capital. Private goods social capital may be viewed as networks that generate social capital for individuals [37], which can foster direct benefits for individuals. Also, Leana and Van Buren [37] suggested that social networks are valued highly among social capital, which indicates social capital as public goods.…”

“…Private goods social capital may be viewed as networks that generate social capital for individuals [37], which can foster direct benefits for individuals. Also, Leana and Van Buren [37] suggested that social networks are valued highly among social capital, which indicates social capital as public goods. From the perspective of knowledge sharing, social capital can be grouped into three distinct dimensions, including a) structural dimension, such as social network ties, b) relational dimension, such as norm of reciprocity, trust and identification, and (c) cognitive dimension, such as shared language and share vision [1], [38].…”

Abstract-Knowledge sharing research has proposed various theories and explanations regarding individuals' intentions to share knowledge in virtual distributed communities. Although past research studies can provide useful insights into the factors that significantly affect knowledge sharing intention, there are some discrepancies of findings among the different studies. The main purpose of this paper is to review the previous empirical research studies to first identify the main theories and factors used to explain online knowledge sharing. The findings suggest that these incentive items could be grouped into three main categories: personal factors (knowledge self-efficacy, perceived relative advantage, perceived compatibility), social factors (trust, reciprocity, social network ties), and organizational factors (formal incentive mechanism). Of these factors, trust has been the most widely discussed, followed by social network ties. Next, this paper presents several main discrepancies among past research studies in order such as the notion of perceived compatibility, norm of reciprocity, and trust to provide possible directions for future studies.

“…Intra-organizational social capital (ISC) represents the relationships among members of the organization that can serve as a basis to improve the capacity of the organization, perform committed actions, and create value (20)(21)(22), and these relationships can be simply understood as relationships among members of an organization. Several studies have found that drawing on ISC can promote the development of an organization and they have explained the role of ISC in resource mobilization, resulting in an improved and more effective organization (20)(21)(22)(23).…”
