The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of intra-organizational networking on individual task performance, via employability. Moreover, this study also examines whether this relationship differs for younger (<40 years) versus older employees (≥40 years). A self-report questionnaire was distributed among a sample of employees working in a range of different types of organizations ( = 374). We conclude that employability fully mediates the relationship between intra-organizational networking and individual task performance. However, this mediation effect did not vary between younger and older employees. This study extends past research by applying a human capital perspective (in particular, social capital) and life-span development frameworks for explaining employability and task performance enhancement across one's working life. It provides useful insights for stimulating career development and individual performance growth, by means of social capital, herewith increasing the individual employee's chance to survive in nowadays' labor markets.
本文旨在通过就业能力来研究组织内部网络对个人任务绩效的影响。此外，本研究还考察了这种关系在年轻员工（<40岁）和年长员工（≥40岁）之间是否存在差异。我们向一系列不同类型组织中的员工样本（n = 374）发放了一份自填式问卷。我们得出结论，就业能力完全中介了组织内部网络与个人任务绩效之间的关系。然而，这种中介效应在年轻员工和年长员工之间并没有差异。本研究通过应用人力资本视角（特别是社会资本）和生命周期发展框架来解释整个职业生涯中的就业能力和任务绩效提升，扩展了以往的研究。它通过社会资本为促进职业发展和个人绩效增长提供了有用的见解，从而增加了个体员工在当今劳动力市场中生存的机会。
