Research on the Influence Mechanism of Social Capital on External Knowledge Acquisition——Knowledge Identification Capability Perspective

Abstract

Abstract: This paper focuses on the social capital on external knowledge acquisition,based on the theory of absorptive capacity,to distinguish knowledge recognition ability from knowledge acquisition. On the basis of the related literature,we construct research hypothesis of the relationship between different dimensions of social capital and its interaction with external knowledge recognition ability and knowledge acquisition. We also empirically analyze the survey data of China,and do an empirical test with the help of AMOSA23.0 and SPSS23.0. The research results show that the role of structural social capital in promoting knowledge identification capability is partly mediated by cognitive social capital, while the role of structural social capital in promoting external knowledge acquisition is partly mediated by relational social capital. Knowledge identification capability significantly affects the external knowledge acquisition. This study will promote the relevant theoretical research,but also provides useful enlightenment for innovative enterprises to identify knowledge through external networks and design knowledge management practices for external knowledge acquisition.

Key words: structural social capital, cognitive social capital, relational social capital, absorptive capacity, knowledge identification capability, external knowledge acquisition
