ABSTRACT

This article attempts to test empirically the antecedents and consequences of social capital in public organizations. Social capital is defined as features of social organizations, such as trust, norms, and ties. And social capital is characterized by structural relationship, generalized reciprocity and goodwill. The antecedents of social capital were supposed as conflicts, competition and fairness of personnel management, and the consequences of social capital were supposed as personal and sectional performance. The followings are the results of testing hypotheses empirically. Firstly, conflicts have negative influences on ties, but don't have influences on trust and norms. Secondly, competition have positive influences on norms and ties, but don't have influences on trust. Thirdly, fairness of personnel management has positive influences on all the forms of social capital, trust, norms, and ties. Fourthly, norms and ties have positive influences on personal and sectional performance. Finally, it is necessary to manage personnel affairs fairly for increasing social capital, and to enhance norms and ties for increasing personal and sectional performance.
