Title A name given to the resource Gender differences in social capital and job search methods in the information technology industry in bangalore Description An account of the resource The existence of transaction costs in recruitments and information asymmetry in the labour markets could lead to a preference for informal methods of job search for potential employees and referral-based recruitments for employers. This preference is explicit in the Information Technology (IT) industry, which promotes an incentive-based referral recruitment system. However, such a system raises questions as to whether a level playing field is available for men and women alike to compete for available jobs in the industry. The paper aims at shedding light on the differences in social capital characteristics of men and women, in their job search choices between formal and informal methods, and the implications of the same in the labour market through a gendered perspective. Additionally, the paper explores the association between the strength of ties in informal networks, on one hand, and income and job satisfaction in jobs found through these networks, on the other. The study finds that there are considerable differences in the social capital characteristics of male and female IT employees. The relationship between the strength of ties in informal contacts used to find the current job and job satisfaction are consistent with the existing theoretical insights. However, there is no statistically significant relationship between the strength of ties and income. 2017, Springer India. All rights reserved.
