The purpose of this paper is to develop and investigate the relationship between intangible resources such as employee relationships and workplace collaboration in building sustainability potential. A research model and hypotheses were constructed on the grounds of Resource-based-view Theory (RBV) and Cooperation theory (CT). The data was obtained from 175 employees’ from the telecommunications sector in Poland. The results were used to carry out a two-step structural equation modelling analysis, including confirmatory analysis and verification of the hypothesized relationship. The findings indicate that there is a linkage between intangible resources such as employee relationships and sustainability potential. Additionally, the results imply that workplace collaboration impacts the development of sustainability potential. Furthermore, collaboration strengthens the explicit knowledge flow within organizations. This research demonstrated the importance of employee relationships as a key component of organizational sustainability. Collaboration is positively related to explicit knowledge transfer. Managers should promote positive employee relationships in order to enhance the organization’s sustainability potential.

为组织的可持续发展潜力提供无形资源

本文的目的是开发和研究无形资源（例如员工关系）与工作场所协作之间的关系，以建立可持续发展的潜力。基于资源视角理论（RBV）和合作理论（CT）构建了研究模型和假设。该数据来自波兰电信行业的175名员工。结果用于进行两步结构方程模型分析，包括验证性分析和假设关系的验证。调查结果表明，无形资源（如员工关系）与可持续发展潜力之间存在联系。此外，结果暗示工作场所协作会影响可持续性潜力的发展。此外，协作可增强组织内部的显式知识流。这项研究证明了员工关系作为组织可持续发展的关键组成部分的重要性。合作与明确的知识转移有着积极的关系。管理人员应促进积极的员工关系，以增强组织的可持续发展潜力。
