The empirical study on the creation of corporate intellectual capital from the perspective of social capital

In 1998, Nahapiet and Ghoshal combined social capital and intellectual capital to study the influence mechanisms of corporate social capital towards intellectual capital creation, and put forward corresponding theoretical model. However, this theoretical model has not been verified so far. In this study, specific data of Chinese enterprises, SPSS, and structural equation are used to verify this model. The study results verify most of this model except the positive relationship between the trust and the will of resource exchanges, which may result from the different cultural and social elements in China.
