Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The difference between individual social capital and organizational (or corporate) social capital has been a general topic of research in the previous decade. The existence of this difference between two forms of social capital raises in new ways the old question of what matters most in explaining individual actors’ performance: is it personal social resources or collective ones provided by the organization in which they belong and work? In this paper we provide a tentative answer to this question based on a multi-level network study of the elite of cancer researchers in France in the years 1996-1998. By multi-level we mean here that we reconstituted both the inter-organizational networks of most laboratories carrying out cancer research in France in 1998. Simultaneously, we reconstituted key social networks of the elite of individual cancer researchers in France during that same year. Knowing to which laboratory each researcher belongs, we disentangled the effects of structural properties of the laboratory from the effects of characteristics of the individual researcher (including structural ones) on the latter’s performance. Our results show that the organizational resources matter more, and more consistently, than individual relational capital in explaining variations in individual performance among this elite.
