  • Abstract
    In this paper a model is presented to explore the relationship between organizational culture, social capital, absorptive capacity and knowledge integration capability. Through theory analysis, the research framework was built and structural equation model was constructed. Then an empirical research was carried out based on a sample of 309 Chinese enterprises. Research results proved that organizational culture and absorptive capacity have positive direct effects on enterprise knowledge integration capability. Meanwhile, organizational culture has a positive effect on social capital, and social capital has a positive significant effect on absorptive capacity. The result also indicated that social capital does not directly promote enterprise knowledge integration capability, which has not been paid adequate attention to by many researchers and enterprises so far.
