Any organization that is able to promote the importance of increased levels of social capital and individuals who can leverage and use the resources that exist within the network may experience higher levels of performance. This study sought to add to our knowledge about individuals' accessing social resources for the purpose of accomplishing goals. An instrument was developed using factor analysis and yielded a seven-factor construct: information gathering, initiating contact, network spanning, confidence, assertiveness, flexibility, and communication preference. The study concludes with suggestions for further development of the instrument, as well as practical applications for practitioners. (Contains 2 tables and 1 figure.)
