This research explores the micro‐dynamics by which routines emerge. By considering group's internal social capital as an antecedent of routines' emergence, we acknowledge the motivational and relational aspects that the practice perspective on routines tends to neglect. We propose a theoretical model that depicts how each dimension of social capital (structural, cognitive, and relational) affects the emergence of both performative and ostensive aspects of routines, and discuss its inner dynamics. Our contribution to the practice perspective is twofold. First, we analyse how the structure, content, and nature of interpersonal interactions affect routines' emergence at a collective level and insist on the participants' motivations to sustain heedful interrelations and effortful achievement. Second, we address the temporality of routines' emergence by discussing the co‐evolution of social capital and routines, and its impact on the potential for routines' endogenous evolution.
