paper on social capital
The purpose of this article is to clarify the conceptualization of social capital in entrepreneurship. To achieve this, the article begins with a review of the extensive literature on social capital. This provides a preliminary theoretical framework about the nature and categories of social capital. Thereafter, an account is provided of an empirical study in which in-depth and extensive data was gathered about the social interactions of entrepreneurs from 10 technology firms. Findings demonstrate that social capital is a ***social relational artefact*** produced in social interactions.
This last sentence contains three times "social" which I would like to avoid for the translation. I am just not sure how... any suggestions?

soziales Artefakt; aus Akteursbeziehungen resultierendes Artefakt
Basically the most straight forward translation would be "soziales Artefakt" or "das Ergebnis von Sozialbeziehungen . If you want to avoid "sozial" you could phrase it using "Akteursbeziehungen" which would amount to the same.
For example: "Unsere Untersuchungen zeigen, dass soziales Kapital ein aus den Akteursbeziehungen resultierendes Artefakt ist, dass in sozialen Interaktionen hervorgebracht wird."
In any case, I wouldn't substitute "soziales Kapital" for another term since it is the commonly used technical term in sociological jargon.
