摘要

本研究承襲社會資本理論的觀點，主要的研究問題是：對個體來說，不同的人際網絡是否會有不同的網絡利益，進而影響其事業生涯成功？為回答上述問題，本研究選取不同產業、不同公司中425位職場工作者為研究樣本，在控制性別、年資、教育程度、職類與所服務公司規模的基礎上，應用結構方程模型來進行實證，結果發現：(1)個人的人際網絡越異質，獲得資訊的多元性越高，進而工作成就越高；(2)個人的人際網絡越異質，獲得資訊的多元性越高，但其與事業滿意程度無顯著關係；(3)個人的人際網絡越異質，所獲得的事業支持度越高，進而工作成就越高；(4)個人的人際網絡越異質，所獲得的事業支持度越高，進而其事業滿意度越高；(5)與網絡行動者的聯繫強度愈強，獲得資訊的多元性越低，使得工作成就越高；(6)與網絡行動者的聯繫強度愈強，獲得資訊的多元性越低，但其與事業滿意度無顯著關係；(7)與網絡行動者的聯繫強度愈強，其所獲得的事業支持度越高，進而工作成就越高；(8)與網絡行動者的聯繫強度愈強，所獲得的事業支持度越高，進而其事業滿意度越高。

Following the research stream of social capital, this study tries to find the relationships among personal networks, network benefits, and career success using a sample of 425 employees from various industries and organizations by controlling their gender, seniority, education level, occupations, and firm sizes. The empirical research, using Structural Equations Model, showed that: (1)The higher degree of individual network heterogeneity was, the higher accessing information quality was, and then the higher the extent of job achievement was. (2)The higher degree of individual network heterogeneity was, the higher accessing information quality was, and then there was no significant effect on the extent of career satisfaction. (3)The higher degree of individual network heterogeneity was, the more career sponsorship was, and then the higher the extent of job achievement was. (4)The higher degree of individual network heterogeneity was, the higher career sponsorship was, and then the higher the extent of career satisfaction was. (5)The stronger intensity of interaction with other actors was, the less accessing information quality was, and then the higher the extent of job achievement was. (6)The stronger intensity of interaction with other actors were, the less accessing information quality was, and then there was no significant effect on the extent of career satisfaction. (7)The stronger intensity of interaction with other actors were, the more career sponsorship was, and then the higher the extent of job achievement was. (8)The stronger intensity of interaction with other actors was, the more career sponsorship was, and then the higher the extent of career satisfaction was.
