Abstract:

Whether or not social capital has an impact on income is a cuttingedge topic in social networking studies. The results of this study show that favourite resources have a larger impact than informational resources. The combined effects of affiliative and informational resources on income confirm favourite relationships between social network resources and income. In different institutional environments and competitive conditions, the effects of social network resources on incomes vary significantly. The empirical data support three related hypotheses.
