本研究將社會網絡分析理論應用到技術創新領域，為以適當概念衡量影響研發成員技術創新的社會網絡，先以質性研究將研發團隊社會網絡分為工作、諮詢、信任三個成份，並推論由年資、專利所組成的專屬資產具有調節效果。考量降低外生變數的干擾，以台灣IC設計產業為母體，進行時間橫斷面調查研究。研究假說包含研發成員社會網絡集中度對技術創新的影響，以及專屬資產對此關係的調節作用。檢定數據顯示社會網絡集中度愈高則技術創新的程度愈高。以專屬資產與集中度的交互作用變項所進行的迴歸檢定，確可解釋專屬資產的正向調節作用。研究結果提供瞭解研發成員技術創新能力的途徑，做為工作設計與任務分派的決策參考，進而提升技術創新績效。

Applying social networks analysis to technological innovation, this cross-sectional survey research is a quantitative field study for the member of R&D team. For conceptualizing, categorizing, and measuring R&D teams' social networks, a previously qualitative research develops a R&D teams' social networks typology that identifies three types, that is, job network, consulting network, and trust network. This study examined the moderating effects of asset specificity on the relationship between social network centrality and technological innovation in samples of IC design house in Taiwan. The results of this study indicated that the greater of job, consulting, trust network centrality will be associated with higher technological innovation. Moreover, adding the interaction item of asset specificity and network centrality, the hierarchical regression test shows the positive moderating effects of asset specificity on the relationship between social network centrality and technological innovation. For providing the decision support information of job design and distribution, the findings suggest implications that the ability of technological innovation can evaluated by social network centrality of R&D team member. Furthermore, the performance of technological innovation will be promoted.
