Professional Norms

Professional norms apply to professional relationships. These may be very different from norms that apply to other types of social relationships, particularly personal relationships. For example, it may be considered unacceptable to talk about certain aspects of your personal life in front of customers.

Relational Capital

Relational capital is a relationship that may have future value. For example, a salesperson who knows everyone in an industry such that they can easily initiate sales talks with prospective customers.

Negative Relational Capital

In many cases, intensive office politics and other professional conflict or tension can generate negative relational capital. For example, an employee who has a bad experience working at your company who is then hired by one of your largest customers. This individual may be unlikely to support decisions to purchase more of your products such that your relationship with them could have negative value.
