There have been many different perspectives in the academic field about the human capital, social capital and organizational performance. But all former studies, particularly the empirical studies, were almost conducted in the Western context, while lacking of exploration and testing in the Eastern context, especially in the background of China. Therefore this study is to explore the establishment and development of human capital and social capital theory, with a combination of theory and the empirical study, we researched the scientific organizations with the questionnaire survey to explore the relationship of human capital, social capital and knowledge related organizational performance. By the empirical research, we built the model of the relationship between variables, and use SPSS14.0 and AMOS6.0 to analysis and carry out inspection.The main findings are:(1)Through independent sample T test and one-way ANOVA, this study compared the mean differences of knowledge related organizational performance on the personal background variables. The results showed that age and position had no significant effect on knowledge related organizational performance, while gender had a certain effect on knowledge related organizational performance.(2) By using correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis on the questionnaire data, we found that human capital and social capital had a positive effect on knowledge related organizational performance. Especially, the effect of"level of education"and"interactive frequency"on the degree of knowledge related organizational performance was positive and substantial, while"work experience"and"network size"had no significant effect on knowledge related organizational performance.(3)This study introduced knowledge-sharing as intermediary role in the process. The results suggested that knowledge-sharing had an intermediate effect between"level of education","interactive frequency"and knowledge related organizational performance, while had no intermediate effect between"work experience","network size"and knowledge related organizational performance.
