Social Capital: Can Research Guide the UC Academic Business Officers? Jone L. Pearce, Interim Dean Graduate School of Management Irvine Campus
Social Capital A resource located in a network of more or less durable social relationships
Social Capital Examples Knowledge about whose collaboration is necessary to gain the support of another department A well-placed friend who is willing to do a favor, Knowing which managers don’t pad their budget requests, Gaining information from regular lunch buddies (or conference attendees)
What Can I Possibly Tell UC Academic Business Officers About Social Networks?
Significant Research Evidence that “Bridges” Receive… Higher Job Performance Ratings Higher Pay More Rapid Promotion
Yet Higher Communal Social Capital Seems to Benefit the Organization….
Further, supervisors fight to keep subjective performance appraisals. Is because of their use in recognizing and rewarding communal social capital?
We did find that those with more communal social capital had higher job performance ratings…
…and those who expected to change jobs more often throughout their careers had less communal social capital.
Implications Subjective performance appraisals should get more respect All kinds of social capital pay off
