Resumen

Este artículo realiza una aplicación del concepto de capital social en el ámbito organizacional. Se propone un instrumento de medición de los aspectos culturales de este capital inmaterial empleando una escala tipo Likert. El cuestionario fue aplicado a una muestra de pequeñas empresas con perfil innovador de Cali y Medellín (Colombia). Las mediciones promedio obtenidas y el análisis de la correlación entre diferentes variables del estudio permiten concluir que las empresas analizadas tienen una percepción positiva de la calidad de sus relaciones sociales internas, así como de aquellas sostenidas con las partes interesadas del entorno. No obstante, se identifican debilidades sobre las cuales puede trabajarse para mejorar sus compe- tencias colectivas y convertir este capital en un vehículo más efectivo para la innovación y en una base sostenible de competitividad.

Abstract

This paper applies the concept of social capital in organizations. A tool for measuring the cultural aspects of this intangible capital is proposed using a Likert-type scale. A questionnaire was applied to a sample of small enterprises with an innovator profile in Cali and Medellin (Colombia). The average measurements obtained and the analysis of correlations between the different variables in this study led us to conclude that these enterprises have a positive perception of the quality of their internal social relationships, as well as those maintained with their stakeholders. However, we identified certain weaknesses which could be modified in order to improve the collective competences of these firms so that they may become an effective vehicle for innovating and creating sustained competitive bases.

Resumo

Este artigo aplica o conceito de capital social a nível organizacional. Propõe-se um instrumento de medição dos aspectos culturais deste capital imaterial usando uma escala tipo Likert. O questionário foi aplicado a uma amostra de pequenas empresas com perfil inovador de Cali e Medellín (Colômbia). As medições médias obtidas e a análise de correlação entre as diferentes variáveis do estudo permitem concluir que as empresas analisadas têm uma percepção positiva da qualidade das suas relações sociais internas, assim como das mantidas com as partes interessadas do meio. E identificam-se debilidades sobre as quais se pode trabalhar para melhorar as suas competências colectivas e transformar este capital num veículo mais eficaz para a inovação numa base sustentável de competitividade.
