Abstract
Despite a surge of studies examining the role of social capital in the entrepreneurial process, no quantitative assessments exist of the empirical evidence to date. To resolve seemingly conflicting results, we conducted a meta-analysis of the link between entrepreneurs’ personal networks and small firm performance and identify new moderators affecting this relationship. Analyses of 61 independent samples indicated that the social capital–performance link was positive and significant (rc=.211). Effect sizes of weak ties were smaller than those of structural holes, while network diversity had the largest positive effect on performance. Results also showed that the social capital–performance link depends on the age of small firms, the industry and institutional contexts inwhich they operate, and on the specific network or performancemeasures used. Based on these findings, we develop recommendations for future research on the contingent value of social capital for small firms.

Introduction
There is wide agreement that social capital, or the resources embedded in entrepreneurs’ personal networks, is critical for the performance of small firms. For instance, network connections enable entrepreneurs to identify new business opportunities, obtain resources below the market price, and secure legitimacy from external stakeholders. Despite these potential benefits, however,cultivating social capital entails substantial opportunity costs, raising the question: what configuration of entrepreneurs’ personal network ties is most beneficial in the small firm context? So far, however, little consensus exists about when certain forms of social capital lead to enhanced business performance. This confusion continues to persist due tomarked differences in construct definitions,research designs, and sampling contexts across prior studies. Clarifying what exactly is known about the relationship between social capital and small firm performance therefore seems both timely and important.In this study, we employ meta-analytic methods to synthesize empirical findings from 59 studies (N=13,263) on the performance effects of entrepreneurs’ social capital. By controlling for sampling andmeasurement error,meta-analysis enables us to obtain a more precise estimate of the relationship between social capital and small firm performance and identify how this link depends on contextual andmethodological moderators. Accordingly,we contrast the forms of social capital that aremost valuable for newand old small firms, and for firms that operate in high- or low-technology industries and emerging or established economies.We also clarify how methodological choices may influence research findings by comparing effect sizes between cross-sectional and longitudinal studies, and across different network and performance measures.
