Abstract
- This study examines the impacts of social capital on employees’ career outcomes in the context of Chinese workplace. Access to information and access to resources are hypothesized as the mediators in the relationships. A new measure of individual social capital is developed and used as the key predictor of the outcome variable. Data were collected from a survey administered to 184 employees in a state-owned enterprise. The results of regression analysis showed that individual social capital enhances both career satisfaction and career achievement of employees. Further, access to information and access to resources were found to mediate the above relationships. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
