Abstract

This study examines the effect of social capital formed on B to B inter - firm transactions on firm's performance through a research model developed around the mediating effect of knowledge absorption capacity. In other words, we examined how each level of social capital affects firm performance. by examining the dimensions of social capital that are not presented in previous studies, we have identified how each element of social capital affects corporate performance. in addition, the effects of knowledge absorption on firm performance are analyzed and presented in various ways. The results of the study are summarized as follows. First, social capital is divided into three dimensions. In other words, the relationship between structural elements, relational dimensions, and cognitive dimensions was verified. First, the structural dimension influenced the relational dimension, and the relational dimension had a positive effect on the cognitive dimension. this is meaningful in that it solved what is pointed out as a limit in previous studies. this is meaningful in that it verified what was pointed out as a limit in previous studies. secondly, the structural dimension influenced the cognitive dimension. Second, each component of social capital has a positive impact on knowledge absorption capacity. Finally, it was found that knowledge absorption capacity had a positive effect on the corporate culture, and it was confirmed that knowledge absorption capacity was important. the extent to which social capital is absorbed in BtoB transactions means that the performance of the two companies can be quite different.

본 연구는 BtoB 기업 간 거래에서 형성된 사회적 자본(social capital)이 기업성과에 미치는 영향을 지식흡수역량의 매개적 조절효과를 중심으로 연구모형을 검증하였다. 즉, 사회적 자본의 각각의 차원이 기업성과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 검증하였다. 기존선행연구에서 제시하지 않은 사회적 자본의 각 차원간의 관계를 검증함으로써 사회적 자본 중 어떠한 요소가 기업성과에 영향을 미치는지를 확인하였다. 또한 지식흡수능력에 따라 기업성과에 미치는 영향에 대해 다양한 방법으로 분석하여 제시하였다. 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫 번째, 사회적 자본을 3가지 차원으로 구분하였다. 즉, 구조적 차원, 관계적 차원 그리고 인지적 차원으로 구분하여 각 구성요소간의 관계를 검증하였다. 먼저 구조적 차원이 관계적 차원에 영향을 미쳤으며, 관계적 차원이 인지적 차원에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 마지막으로 구조적 차원 또한 인지적 차원에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 선행연구에서 한계점으로 지적되었던 것을 검증했다는 것에 의미가 있다. 두 번째, 사회적 자본의 각각의 구성요소들이 지식흡수역량에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 지식흡수역량이 기업성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 지식흡수역량의 중요성을 확인한 결과 사회적 자본과 기업성과 사이에서의 매개된 조절 효과도 있음을 확인하였다. BtoB 거래에서 축적된 사회적 자본을 어느 정도 흡수하는가에 따라 두 기업의 성과는 분명 다를 수 있음을 의미한다.
