Abstract

There is maturing consensus in supply chain literature that structural capital (SC), cognitive capital (CC), and relational capital (RC) comprise the three main facets of social capital. While the benefits of these three dimensions are well documented within the supply chain context, there is comparatively little research exists on the interplay among SC, CC, and RC. In our research, we postulate a theoretical model that posits that SC and CC are the antecedents of RC. In addition, this model illustrates that CC is a complementary resource that moderates the relationship between SC and RC. The model was tested using data from a sample of 99 US firms. The results suggest that SC and CC are the foundation of RC within the customer-supplier context and CC positively moderates the relationship between SC and RC.
