Business-to-Business (B2B) online communities (OCs) facilitate enterprises to obtain additional resources through establishing interconnected networks. However, the existing literature lacks comprehensive insights into how the social network of enterprises affects their involuntary default. Based on social network theory, this study aims to investigate the influence of structural network embeddedness (i.e., density, structural holes, and centrality) on enterprises’ involuntary default. The results show that these network characteristics have a direct impact on involuntary default, and these effects are moderated by role superposition.

B2B 在线社区能减少企业的默认行为吗？—— 从社交网络角度


企业对企业 （B2B） 在线社区 （OC） 有助于企业通过建立互连网络来获取额外资源。然而，现有的文献缺乏关于企业社交网络如何影响其非自愿违约的全面见解。本研究基于社交网络理论，旨在探讨结构网络嵌入性（即密度、结构孔洞和中心性）对企业非自愿违约的影响。结果表明，这些网络特征对非自愿默认有直接影响，并且这些影响受到角色叠加的调节。
