全球化的一个结果是越来越多的海员，他们很少是连续两次航行的同一船员的成员，必须与来自许多国家的海员合作（Progoulaki和Roe WMU J Marit Affairs 10：7-23，2011）。这种情况挑战了船上的社会资本水平，即，与互惠和信任规范相关的网络合作中固有的资源（Putnam 2000：19）。然而，应该恢复分散的“蓝色”社会资本，因为工作业绩取决于船员之间横向合作的质量，以及船员与航运公司纵向合作的质量。本文利用人类学田野调查数据，从四个丹麦国际船舶，旨在提供一个新的理论框架，分析船员之间的合作。我们的归纳实证研究结果表明，要实现高绩效的工作系统，需要在三种类型的社会资本（结合，桥接和联系）之间取得平衡（Gittell et al. Organ Sci 21（2）：490-506，2010）。因此，航运部门的主要行为者应考虑到“蓝色”社会资本，以提高工作效率和经济业绩。
One outcome of globalization is an increasing number of seafarers, who seldom are members of the same crew two voyages in a row and must cooperate with seafarers from many countries (Progoulaki and Roe WMU J Marit Affairs 10:7–23, 2011). This situation challenges the level of social capital on board, i.e., the resources inherent in network cooperation associated with norms of reciprocity and trust (Putnam 2000: 19). Fragmentized “blue” social capital should, however, be restored, as work performance depends on the quality of cooperation among crew members horizontally, as well as between crew members and the shipping company vertically. Drawing on anthropological fieldwork data from four Danish international ships, the purpose of this paper is to offer a new theoretical framework for analyzing cooperation among crews. Our inductive empirical findings suggest that a balance between three types of social capital—bonding, bridging and linking—is needed to achieve a high-performing work system (Gittell et al. Organ Sci 21(2):490–506, 2010). Hence, the main actors within the shipping sector should take “blue” social capital into account to increase work efficiency and economic performance.
