Abstract
The authors provide an overview of the literature on social capital, illustrate how nurses build social capital by using innovative technology for peer recognition, and introduce contribution-specific social capital as a novel concept. On the basis of this concept and the outcomes from previous research, recommendations are offered for initiatives to improve workforce retention and engagement and to leverage every nurse's most valued attributes and skills for the delivery of care.
