Abstract

This study explores the relationships that human, economic and social capital may have with the creation of employment in small businesses that belong to African immigrants. Based on a cross-country approach, the study utilized self-administered questionnaires to collect data in a cross-sectional manner from 829 respondents in some states of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). Results obtained from the analysis of the data revealed that certain variables in the triumvirate of human, economic and social capitals displayed statistically significant relationships with employment creation. Specifically, among the studied variables, only management skills, educational achievement, business support services and language proficiency correlated positively with employment creation. Consequently, Governments, African-immigrant entrepreneurs and other interested stakeholders may need to invest in the improvement of these specific components of human, economic and social capital bases of entrepreneurs for the touted benefit of employment creation to materialize.

南部非洲移民拥有的企业的资本形式和创造的就业机会

本研究探讨了人力、经济和社会资本与非洲移民小企业创造就业机会之间的关系。基于跨国方法，该研究使用自行管理的问卷，以横断面的方式从南部非洲发展共同体（SADC）一些州的829名受访者中收集数据。对数据的分析结果表明，人力、经济和社会资本三元体系中的某些变量与创造就业有统计学意义。具体而言，在所研究的变量中，只有管理技能、教育成就、商业支持服务和语言水平与创造就业呈正相关。因此，各国政府、非洲移民企业家和其他感兴趣的利益攸关方可能需要投资改善企业家人力、经济和社会资本基础的这些具体组成部分，以实现创造就业的好处。
