創業家社會資本之探索性研究：以資訊軟體產業為例

近年來，創業家社會資本的研究，日益受到重視。相關研究也指出，社會資本對於創業家成功與否的重要性（Uzzi & Dunlap, 2005）。然而，綜合過去社會資本相關研究發現，社會學中社會資本的概念，主要指的是一般人日常生活中的社會資本，在本研究中將之稱為「日常性社會資本」。而文獻中也指出，創業家創業過程中，除了日常性社會資本外，尚需與其工作相關的社會資本，在本研究中將其稱之為「創業性社會資本」。過去研究多將焦點著眼於日常性社會資本，較少學者針對創業性社會資本進行深入探討。因此，本研究藉由探索性的方式，選擇以資訊軟體產業為例，針對創業性社會資本進行進一步探討。本研究採兩階段研究，第一階段為質性個案研究；第二階段為量化調查研究。第一階段，透過訪談七位資訊軟體產業創業家，以了解創業性社會資本的內涵。以第一階段成果為基礎，第二階段主要針對資訊軟體產業創業家與從業人員進行問卷調查。結果指出，兩者所擁有的「日常性社會資本」並無顯著差異，但兩者的「創業性社會資本」則存在顯著差異，且相關變數的平均數，創業家皆高於一般從業人員。本文主要的貢獻在於透過探索性研究，對於創業家所擁有的社會資本，有進一步的了解，希望此一研究成果，能夠成為後續研究的參考。

Recently, more and more researchers paid attention to the issues about entrepreneur's social capital. Researches also indicated that social capital is critical for entrepreneur's success (Uzzi & Dunlap, 2005). However, by reviewed previous researches in Sociology we found that the concept of social capital mainly refers to everybody's social capital in daily lives. In this study we call it ＂daily life social capital＂. Besides, previous studies indicated that not only daily life social capital but also work related social capital are critical for the entrepreneurial process. In this study we call it ＂entrepreneurial social capital＂. Based on the results of literature review, we found that most of scholars focused on daily life social capital. Less researches paid attention to the issue related to entrepreneurial social capital. Therefore, this exploratory study selected information software industry as example to understand entrepreneurial social capital. This paper employed two phases study. The first phase adopted case study. In this stage, seven IS (information software) entrepreneurs were interviewed in order to understand entrepreneur's social capital completely. Based on the results of the first phase, survey research is employed in the second stage. The subjects include IS entrepreneurs and IS staffs. The purpose of this phase is attempted to verify the viewpoint proposed by authors. The results indicated that there exists distinct differences between IS entrepreneurs and staffs in their entrepreneurial social capital. Although, their daily life social capital has no significant difference but all of the variables related to social capital, entrepreneurs are larger than those of IS staff. It means that entrepreneurs pay more attention to social capital than staff. The major contribution of this paper is that the concept of entrepreneurial social capital is understood advanced by this exploratory study. These results can be applied in the future researches.
