Sosyal Ağ Özellikleri Bakış Açısıyla Sosyal Sermaye ve Bilgi Yaratma İlişkisi: Akademisyenler Üzerinde Yapılan Bir Alan Araştırması

Sosyal sermaye, örgütlerin rekabet etmeleri ve yeni üretim sistemlerine uyum sağlamaları için en temel ihtiyaç olan bilgi yaratma ve yenilik üzerinde olumlu bir etkiye sahiptir. Yapısal, ilişkisel ve bilişsel sosyal sermaye boyutları, içerdiği kaynaklar sayesinde bilgiye ulaşmak, ulaşılan bilgiyi paylaşmak ve mevcut bilgilerle birleştirerek yeni bilgiler yaratmak gibi temel bilgi yaratma faaliyetlerine güçlü bir zemin hazırlamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, sosyal sermaye ve bilgi yaratma arasındaki ilişkiyi, sosyal ağ kuramlarıyla analiz etmektir. Bu bağlamda, fen bilimleri ve sosyal bilimlerde yer alan akademisyenlerin sosyal ağ özellikleri ve güven boyutlarının makale sayısı üzerindeki etkisi ölçülmüştür. Sonuçlara göre sosyal sermaye ve bilgi yaratma arasındaki ilişki bilim dallarına göre değişmektedir.
