Abstract

Organizations, as social units, comprise conflicting and contrary components which expel each other. What prevents the organization from falling apart and lubricates organizational actions is Organizational Social Capital (OSC). Therefore, how OSC is generated and maintained must be considered and studied. Hence, we attempt to study the role that Human Resource Management (HRM) plays to generate OSC. In order to generate OSC some individual qualities are necessary and HRM practices, like selection, socialization, training and rewarding, can improve and enhance the individual qualities and, as a result, facilitate OSC creation and maintenance. This study examines the specific role of human resource management in creating OSC.
