本研究針對IC設計研發團隊成員，進行時間橫斷面調查研究。提出社會鑲嵌與技術創新的關係及專屬資產對此關係調節效果的理論模型。其中，社會鑲嵌包含結構鑲嵌與關係鑲嵌。結構鑲嵌是指組織控制程度，關係鑲嵌包含工作連帶、諮詢連帶、信任連帶；檢定結果顯示，研發成員之社會網絡結構鑲嵌程度與技術創新成效的關係不顯著。研發成員關係鑲嵌之強度愈高，技術創新成效愈好，專屬資產對此關係具有調節作用。對技術創新而言，非正式的社會網絡關係鑲嵌比正式的組織控制結構鑲嵌更具影響力。在創新管理上，分析工作、諮詢、信任的連帶強度，可瞭解研發成員的技術創新成效，做為工作設計與技術提升的依據。

This cross-sectional survey research is a quantitative field study for the member of R&D team of IC design house. A theoretical model is proposed for the relationship between social embeddedness and technological innovation, which moderated by asset specificity. Social embeddedness includes two constructs, that is, structural embeddedness and relational embeddedness. Structural embeddedness means the degree of organization control. Relational embeddedness including three constructs, that is, social ties of job/consulting/trust network. The results show structural embeddedness influence the technological innovation insignificantly. The results also show the greater relational embeddedness of job/consulting/trust network will be associated with higher technological innovation. Furthermore, the regression tests show the asset specificity item significantly moderate the relationship between relational embeddedness and technological innovation. For technological innovation, the influence of the informal relational embeddedness of social network is more powerful than formal structural embeddedness of organizational control. By analyses the social embeddedness of job/consulting/trust network, the performance of technological innovation of R&D team member can be explained. It provides the quality of job design and distribution such that the performance of technological innovation will be promoted.
