Abstract

Purpose The paper aims to propose a conceptualization of two types of team social capital: team-bonding and team-bridging social capital. Throughout the conceptual effort, the paper provides suggestions for future research avenues that link team social capital, as a distinct team-level construct, with other team research topics. Design/methodology/approach The conceptualization of team social capital is based on a review and synthesis of prior research about social networks. The propositions about the relationships of team social capital with other team process and effectiveness variables are developed within the classical input-mediator-output framework. Findings The conceptualizations of team-bonding and team-bridging social capital and the common measures for each are provided. Moreover, a series of testable propositions regarding the associations between team social capital and team process, the influence of team social capital on team effectiveness and the antecedents of team social capital are made. Research limitations/implications Because of the chosen research approach, the research results may lack generalizability. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to test the proposed propositions further. Originality/value This paper elaborates the concept of team social capital and specifies its implications to various team phenomena. With this conceptual effort, this paper has advanced our knowledge about the nature and role of team social capital in team research.

团队连结与团队桥接社会资本:概念与意涵

本文旨在提出两种类型的团队社会资本的概念：团队纽带和团队桥接社会资本。在整个概念工作中，本文为未来的研究途径提供了建议，将团队社会资本作为一种独特的团队层面结构与其他团队研究主题联系起来。设计/方法论/方法团队社会资本的概念化是基于对先前关于社交网络的研究的回顾和综合。关于团队社会资本与其他团队过程和有效性变量的关系的命题是在经典的输入-中介-输出框架内提出的。研究结果提供了团队纽带和团队桥接社会资本的概念以及每种资本的共同衡量标准。此外，关于团队社会资本与团队过程的关系、团队社会资本对团队有效性的影响以及团队社会资本的前因，提出了一系列可检验的命题。研究局限性/影响由于所选择的研究方法，研究结果可能缺乏可推广性。因此，鼓励研究人员进一步检验所提出的命题。独创性/价值本文阐述了团队社会资本的概念，并阐述了它对各种团队现象的启示。通过这一概念上的努力，本文加深了我们对团队社会资本在团队研究中的性质和作用的认识。
