This paper aims to analyze the benefits of relational and personal network of a contractor in terms of his access to external resources. The originality of our approach lies in the choice of the context in which our empirical analysis is applied, and relative to the Tunisian context. In addition, we have integrated a range of theoretical approaches that have examined the concept of relational and personal network, particularly, the strength of ties of Granovetter (1973), the theory of structural holes of Burt (1992) and the theory of social resource.
