The aim of this study is to provide evidence about the role of social capital within project-based organizations. Our assumption is that the social capital of project units increases knowledge integration, producing in turn high levels of performance at the project level. We collected primary data via sociometric questionnaires on 57 projects in the construction field. The analysis has been conducted to study the distinctive structural configuration of projects’ social capital, among which we emphasize the role of net- work degree. Our results provide evidence that levels of project performance are significantly associated to the particular structure of projects’ social capital.
