本文採用「社會資本的建構與效應：臺灣、中國大陸、美國三地追蹤研究」調查計畫之2004年第一次調查資料，在臺灣社會的脈絡下探討社會資本的無形之手對於個人地位取得所帶來的效應。分析結果顯示，第一，網絡資源對於工作訊息取得的影響是正面的，即網絡資源豐富的個人較有機會從日常對話中得到工作訊息；第二，工作資訊對於個人地位取得的影響是正面的，特別是關於公司內部其他工作之訊息。這些分析結果與Lin and Ao（2008）的社會資本的無形之手理論是一致的。除此之外，本文修正了Lin and Ao（2008）的資料、測量及模型，在資料上，本文區分出內部升遷及非內部升遷兩種樣本，並且著重在非內部升遷樣本之分析；在測量上，本文乃採用職位聲望標準差作為異質性之指標，避免其計算基礎與達高性有所重疊，更利於進行因素分析；在模型上，本文採用Heckman兩階段篩選模型，結合工作資訊取得和工作資訊效應兩種模型，並且發現到倘若不考慮工作資訊取得與否之差異，工作資訊效應將會被高估。

Using Year 2004 data from the Taiwan Social Capital survey, this study examines how social capital plays an important role in the occupational status attainment process through the receipt and access of routine job information. Three distinct advantages over Lin and Ao's paper (2008): (1) analyzing the non-promotion sample, (2) replacing the distance of occupational prestige with the standard deviation of occupational prestige to represent network heterogeneity, and (3) using the Heckman two-step method to combine job information receipt model with the job information effect model. Our results suggest that workers with high levels of social capital are beneficial from the receipt of routine job information. The estimates provide robust evidence of an association between social capital, information and labor market outcome adjusting for disparities in access to information.
