A team's internal complex scientific research networks and its research performance

In view of social capital theory and network embeddedness theory, the theory model and the concept model are constructed, representing the relationships between a team's internal complex scientific research networks and its research performance. On the basis of scientific research networks establishing and networks structure analysis, the hypothesis model expressing the correlations between a team's internal research networks and its performance is made. And then the pragmatic studies about the relationships between a team's internal research networks and its research performance, are processed using PLS Structure Equation Modeling method. The conclusion is that efficient scientific research networks in a team can promote its research performance, so it is the key for a team to devise an efficient incentive and beneficial guarantee mechanism to form and sustain those efficient research networks.
