    ObjectiveTo examine the associations between organizational (bonding, bridging, and linking) social capital, employees' health, and employees' performance.MethodsLinear regression on cross-sectional data among 718 employees in two Dutch companies.ResultsOrganizational social capital was significantly associated with perceived health (β = 0.20; P < 0.001) and with emotional exhaustion (β = -0.34; P < 0.001). Both the health indicators, in turn, were associated with absenteeism, presenteeism, and effective personal functioning in the presumed direction, that is, better health was associated with better functioning. Especially, bonding social capital was significantly associated with health (β = 0.14; P < 0.01) and with emotional exhaustion (β = -0.26; P < 0.001). Linking social capital was associated with emotional exhaustion as well (β = -0.09; P < 0.05).ConclusionsOrganizational social capital was found to be a resource for employees' health, with meaningful business implications.
