摘要：Many empirical and review studies have been performed in the management and organization literature from the structural social capital perspective.Since these studies focus on different topics periodically,we aimed to make a bibliometric analysis of the structural social capital literature that allows a regular,systematic,and quantitative evaluation of published articles in management and organization science to identify the underlying structure in this research area and to identify the main research themes of the scholarship. Methodology: The bibliographic matching technique was used for checking international databases to explore the main concepts and themes of the management and organization literature and to identify main themes in the research area.Therefore,this article offers a bibliometric analysis of the literature that allows for a regular,systematic,and quantitative evaluation of published articles to identify their underlying structure and to identify the main research themes in the scholarship.Research data were analyzed using the text mining method,which is a sub-branch of the data mining method and one of the most critical ways to analyze and process unstructured data. Findings: Structural social capital studies were examined in management and organization science databases in three periods forming four years.Although there are no completely different emerging themes,we noticed periodic differences and change in priority rankings.Moreover,we found that the subjects repeat every period with few new concepts. Implications: This research shows the main themes in the management and organization literature,where structural social capital elements are examined together,and covers all areas of management,organization and business science.Considering the main topics of the three periods of this research,there are similarities,namely the words that rank among the top in each period are “innovation,” “entrepreneurship,” “knowledge management,” “performance,” “leadership,” “technology,” and “human resources” and these themes are the most prominent. Originality/Value: This research presents an overview of all past studies that focus on the structural social capital present in social interactions.Since structural social capital influences management and organization literature,it is considered a valuable study and a guide for future research.
