The Influence of Organization Social Capital on Strategic Performance in Role of Technological Uncertainly in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Industries Iran
In a knowledge-based economy, intangible assets of
organizations are increasingly becoming a decisive factor in
competitiveness. Such assets, such as skills and knowledge of employees,
are viewed as the essence of competitive advantage [1]. Social capital
is the set of norms in the social systems that promote the level of
cooperation of the members of that society [2]. This capital points to
the links and connections among the members of the network as a valuable
resource, which creates norms and mutual trust, which serves the
purposes of the members [3]. The experts consider social capital as
aspects of social organization such as norms, social networks and mutual
trust, which facilitates cooperation and cooperation of individuals to
achieve common interests [4]. The idea of
paying attention to social capital in organizations, as priests and
prosecutors, is relatively new [5]. On the other hand, the
discussion of strategic performance, which has always been considered by
organizations, is affected by the social capital of the organization.
In this process, the influence of interveners such as technology and its
uncertainty can affect the severity and weakness of the impact of
social capital on Influence strategic performance. Therefore, the
present research seeks to investigate the effect of social capital on
strategic performance by considering the moderating role of technology
uncertainty.
Methods
There are various methods for collecting information
that is often used in one or more methods for collecting statistics and
information based on the type and desires of scientific research. In
general, data collection methods are divided into two categories:
library method and field method. In this research, both field and
library methods have been used to collect information. The
research literature was compiled by a library method and studied
books, articles and searches on valid scientific websites. In this
research, for analyzing the data obtained from the samples,
both descriptive statistics and inferential statistics methods
have been used. SPSS and PLS software were used to perform
these analyzes [6]. In the descriptive section of the demographic
information operations, individuals will be sampled using the
SPSS software process. Also, tables and graphs containing mean,
frequency, etc. will be used in this section. Structural Equation
Modeling (SEM) has been used in the inferential part by using
PLS software.
Result and Discussion
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of social
capital on strategic performance with respect to the moderating
role of technological uncertainty. As previously mentioned, all
dimensions of social capital (capital, structural, and structural)
affect the strategic performance, but the technological
uncertainty in these relations has no moderating role and
failed to increase the impact of social capital dimensions on the
strategic performance will be effective. Now, according to the
results, the present research proposals are presented.Output
results obtained from SMART PLC 2 software are presented in
the following Table1.
The increase of Cronbach’s alpha and combined reliability of
the main research structures of 0.7, confirms the reliability of the
model’s proper index.The values for the Average(AVE) of each
structure are shown in Table 2. As you can see from this table, all
AVE values are more than 0.4%, which confirms the suitability of
the model’s consistent convergence.
Discussion
Given the relationship between social capital and strategic
performance, active companies in the pharmaceutical industry
will pay great attention to improving the strategic performance
of social capital and its dimensions (capitalism, relational
capital and structural capital); Use social capital indicators to
evaluate strategic performance and, by forming professional
groups and associations in organizations, increase social capital
in organizations. About the relationship between capital and
strategic performance, it is suggested that corporate values be
promoted in the organizations and that staff be moved towards
common goals. Also, all employees must be in the process of
developing organizational norms and standards, and work
towards increasing the number of employees with each other to
improve the strategic performance of the organization. Regarding
the relationship between relationship capital and strategic
performance, it is suggested that in organizations, relationships
should be structured in such a way that relationships based
on cooperation and mutual trust are formed and cooperation
is considered as an essential principle for employees. Also, by
forming teams in the organization, the field of cooperation of the
team of staff, the increase in criticism in the organization and
the background of the commitment of more employees to the
organization.
Conclusion
All dimensions of social capital (capital, cognitive, and
structural) affect the strategic performance, but the technological
uncertainty in these relationships has not a moderating role and
could not be effective in increasing the impact of social capital
dimensions on strategic performance. Companies active in the
pharmaceutical industry will pay much attention to improving
the strategic performance of social capital and its dimensions
(capitalism, relational capital and structural capital), and to use
social capital indicators to evaluate strategic performance, and
by forming groups and associations Professional and specialized
organizations increase social capital in organizations.
