社会资本概念自诞生以来,不论其研究方法还是其应用领域都已经获得较大进展。本文在社会关系网络意义上使用社会资本概念,分析了社会资本在下岗职工再就业过程中所具有的作用及其局限性。在社会资本理论解释力有限的情况下,本文引入经济学的市场结构理论,并创造性地将劳动力市场结构理论与社会资本理论相结合,分析了转型时期劳动力就业的方式与途径。 Since the birth of the concept of social capital, both its research methods and its application areas have made great progress. This article uses the concept of social capital in the sense of social network to analyze the role and limitation of social capital in the process of reemployment of laid-off workers. Under the circumstance that the explanatory power of social capital theory is limited, this paper introduces the theory of market structure in economics and creatively combines the theory of labor market structure with the theory of social capital to analyze the ways and means of employment of the labor force in the transitional period.
