社会资本被誉为一种良性、有效和令人愉快的生产力手段，通过这种手段，企业可以蓬勃发展。但它也限制了网络成员的优势，并歧视非成员。本文通过对英国影视业的定性研究，揭示了社会资本的优势和劣势。社会资本有助于招聘，监督质量标准，确保行为规范，其速度和灵活性在其他组织形式中很难找到。然而，它也吸引了白色的中产阶级男性，并确保中产阶级的信号成为最抢手的工作的代表。妇女、少数民族成员或工人阶级的专业人员不太可能获得工作，而且往往在工作类型方面受到限制。值得注意的是，成功的弱势群体成员是在长期受雇于地面广播公司或经过长期学徒之后获得成功的。鉴于该部门的劳动力市场越来越不安全，这种情况令人担忧。
Social capital has been hailed as a means of virtuous, effective and enjoyable productivity through which firms can flourish. But it also confines advantage to network members and discriminates against non-members. This paper, drawing on detailed qualitative research into work in the UK film and TV industry, reveals the advantages and the disadvantages of social capital. Social capital aided recruitment, policed quality standards and ensured behavioural norms with the sort of speed and flexibility it would be hard to identify in other forms of organizing. However, it also advantaged white, middle-class men and ensured that middle-class signals came to be proxies for the most sought-after jobs. Professionals who were women, members of ethnic minorities or working class were less likely to secure jobs and were often restricted in the type of jobs they held. Significantly, the members of disadvantaged groups who succeeded did so after long periods employed by the terrestrial broadcasters or after extended apprenticeships. This is worrying, given the increasing insecurity of the labour market in this sector.
