Abstract
Purpose: This article aims to determine if and how social capital enables inter-organizational knowledge and information transfer in long-term care (LTC) for older persons and within what boundary conditions.
Design/methodology/approach: The study builds on a survey of key LTC actors (N = 265) representing public, private and non-governmental organizations.
Findings: Our findings revealed a positive relationship between two social capital dimensions and knowledge and information transfer. In addition, partial support was provided for the moderating effects of sector and resource availability.
Originality/value: Our study explores to what extent social capital facilitates inter-organizational knowledge and information transfer in LTC. Secondly, it contributes to the broader knowledge management literature by disclosing two boundary conditions in the above relationship.

As the demands on the health care industry both polarize and intensify, effective management of financial and human resources, the restructuring of organizations and the handling of market forces are increasingly important areas for the industry to address.
