在台灣社會中，就個人工作生涯的地位取得而言，除了職業地位之外，公私部門、是否高科技機構、非典型工作、老闆階級與失業所代表的工作類別也很重要，這都可能會影響到收入與階級認同；然而「接觸的社會資本」對現職地位、工作類別與收入、階級認同有何影響？筆者還沒看到先前國內研究曾做如此廣泛的探討。本研究定位在探討Lin（2001）以及熊瑞梅與黃毅志（1992）所提出的「接觸的社會資本」測量，對上述階層變項的影響，特別要討論兩項測量影響之異同。本研究運用2004年進行調查的「社會資本的建構與效應」全國性樣本資料做路徑分析，以探討上述問題；研究發現顯示：這兩項測量對現職地位、進高科技機構工作機率、收入與階級認同都有正向影響，對於家屬工作、為不同機構工作的非典型工作與失業的機率都有負向影響；不過熊瑞梅與黃毅志的測量之影響都大於林南的測量，特別是在對階級認同的影響上。

Regarding status attainment in personal career in Taiwan, in addition to occupational status, different work types, such as working in public/private sector jobs, hi-tech institution, being nonstandard worker, employers, and the unemployed, also have substantial influence on income and class identification. However, what is the impact of accessed social capital on current occupational status, work type, income, and class identification? The author has not yet seen any research in Taiwan make an extensive investigation. This study aims to examine the effect of the two accessed social capital measurements developed by Lin (2001), and Hsung and Hwang (1992) respectively on the above variables. The similarities and differences between the two are particularly discussed. This research uses the 2004 Social Capital Construction and Effects Survey and conduct a path analysis to examine the above question. The findings show that both measurements have positive effects on current occupational status, the probability of entering hi-tech institution, income, and class identification whereas they have negative effects on the likelihood of being family workers, nonstandard workers, and the unemployed. However, the effects of the measurement developed by Hsung and Hwang are higher than Lin's, especially on class identification.
