Abstract
La presente tesis doctoral lleva por título: “El capital social: desarrollo y efectos en el conocimiento compartido y el bienestar psicológico”. La investigación realizada para la misma se estructura en tres trabajos interconectados. El primero de ellos tiene como objetivo realizar una revisión exhaustiva de la literatura académica reciente sobre dirección de empresas, centrada en el capital social. En este trabajo se busca destacar las principales contribuciones hasta el momento, la evolución temporal y el estado del arte de la investigación sobre capital social, pero sobre todo, poner de manifiesto los debates y cuestiones aún abiertos que demandan una mayor investigación. Entre los resultados de este primer trabajo cabe destacar la ausencia de “microfundamentos” del capital social (Foss, 2010), la necesidad de generar medidas y escalas de medición (Whan et al., 2014), y de unificar terminología y conceptos (Adler & Kwon, 2002; Li, 2007). Además, se identifican diversas variables que requieren una mayor investigación, como la diversidad, el altruismo, el conflicto, o la identidad. El segundo trabajo realiza una aproximación eminentemente cualitativa al fenómeno del capital social en una red profesional: la red de Professional Women Network (PWN) - Madrid. Con un estudio de caso, se abordan algunos de los temas resaltados en el anterior trabajo. En concreto, se intenta comprender los “microfundamentos” del capital social en esta red profesional de mujeres, y se desarrollan instrumentos de medición apropiados para un posterior estudio cuantitativo. Los resultados de este segundo trabajo destacan que compartir valores, metas y objetivos genera entendimiento y favorece las relaciones sociales. Y que la satisfacción personal y el bienestar psicológico constituyen un beneficio derivado de participar en las relaciones y compartir conocimiento. El tercer trabajo de la tesis se centra en el desarrollo del capital social y sus beneficios para la trasferencia de conocimiento y el bienestar social. A partir de un cuestionario enviado al conjunto de la red de PWN, y mediante la utilización de análisis factorial y regresión lineal múltiple, se someten a contraste un conjunto de hipótesis que plantean dos novedades destacables para la investigación sobre el capital social desde el ámbito de la dirección de empresas: la influencia de la dirección intergrupos en el desarrollo del capital social, y los efectos del mismo en el bienestar psicológico de los individuos...
The first study carries out a comprehensive review of the recent academic literature on management and business focused on social capital. This first paper highlights key contributions so far, evolution over time and state of research on social capital, but above all, ongoing debates and unanswered questions that require further research. Among the results of this first paper we need to highlight a lack of "micro-foundations" of social capital (Foss, 2010), the need to generate measures and scales of measurement (Whan et al., 2014), and to unify terminology and concepts (Adler & Kwon, 2002; Li, 2007). In addition, we have identified several variables that require further investigation, such as diversity, altruism, conflict, or identity. The second study takes an eminently qualitative approach to the phenomenon of social capital in a professional network: “Professional Women Network” (PWN) - Madrid. Using the case study method, we have addressed some of the issues highlighted in the previous paper. In particular, understanding the "micro-foundations" of social capital in this professional network of women, and developing appropriate measurement instruments for a subsequent quantitative study. The results of this second study emphasize that sharing values, goals and objectives generates understanding and favors social relations. And that personal satisfaction and psychological well-being are benefits derived from engaging in relationships and sharing knowledge. The third study of this thesis focuses on the development of social capital and its benefits for knowledge transfer and social welfare. Starting with a questionnaire sent to the entire PWN network, and by using factorial analysis and multiple linear regression, we contrasted a set of hypotheses which present two novelties for research on social capital from a Business management perspective: the influence of intergroup management on the development of social capital, and its effects in the psychological well-being of individuals...
