SOSYAL SERMAYEDE GÜVEN BOYUTUNUN ÖRGÜTSEL PERFORMANS VE BAĞLILIK ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİLERİNE YÖNELİK TEORİK BİR DEĞERLENDİRME

Sosyal sermaye, yirminci yüzyılın başlarından itibaren oldukça popüler bir çalışma alanı haline gelmiştir. Sosyal bilimler alanında yapılan çalışmalara konu olan bu kavram, literatürde öncelikle toplumsal düzeyde incelenmiş, konuya ilişkin ilginin artmasıyla beraber özellikle iktisat ve işletme literatüründe üzerinde sıklıkla durulan popüler bir çalışma alanı haline gelmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında, sosyal sermaye yönetiminin örgütsel düzeyde işletmelere hangi katkıları sağlayabileceği incelenmiştir. Sosyal sermayenin önemli bir boyutu olan güven (trust) boyutu bu kapsamda toplumsal ilişkilerin açıklanmasında kullanılan yönleri ile işletme örgütlerine uyarlanmıştır. Tüm örgütlenmelerde olduğu gibi, işletmelerde de belirli amaçları bir araya getirmek üzere oluşturulan örgütler üzerinde de güvenin tesis edilmesi ve sürekliliğe kavuşturulması organizasyonların başarısı açısından kritik bir öneme sahiptir. Örgütsel düzeyde güvenin sağlanması çalışanların performanslarını, iş tatminini ve örgütsel bağlılığını olumlu yönde etkileyeceği düşünülmektedir. Sosyal sermaye literatüründe, sosyal sermayenin işletmeler açısından değerlendirildiği çalışmalar genellikle sosyal sermayenin ölçümlenmesi ve ekonomik kalkınma üzerindeki etkileri üzerine yoğunlaşmıştır. Ayrıca, işletmelerde örgütsel performans ve örgütsel sadakat üzerine yapılan çalışmalar da literatürde yer almaktadır. Ancak, literatürde sosyal sermayenin güven boyutunun işletme örgütlerinin performans ve bağlılığa yönelik etkilerinin doğrudan ya da dolaylı olarak değerlendirildiği sınırlı sayıda çalışmaya rastlanılmaktadır. Bu yüzden konunun ayrıntılarıyla değerlendirilmesi ve işletmenin sosyal sermaye düzeylerinin arttırılmasının örgütsel düzeyde işletmelere ne gibi katkılar sağlayacağının irdelenmesi de önemli gözükmektedir. Bu kapsamda, bu çalışmada literatürde yer alan örgütsel performans ve örgütsel bağlılığa yönelik çalışmalardan yola çıkılarak, sosyal sermaye ve sosyal sermaye-güven ilişkisine yönelik bilgiler ışığında örgütsel performans ve örgütsel bağlılık kavramlarını güçlendirmek açısından sosyal sermayenin güven boyutunun işletme örgütleri açısından önemi ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır.

However, Fukuyama ( 2000) says that not necessarily the norms and shared values are guided by reference behave, act, and behave it automatically becomes social capital. However, only the norms and shared values based on trust. Where trust is build from expectations, honesty, and cooperative behavior emerging from within a community based on shared norms shared by its members.

Information and trust in hierarchies

This paper examines how information costs and congruence in the objectives of collaborators in production jointly affect the equilibrium number of managers and employees in an economy where individuals with different endowments of skills make occupational choices. We use the ratio of employees per manager, i.e. the average span of control (ASC) in the equilibrium, as a summary of how production is organized in the economy. The theory predicts that generalized trust, favoring congruence in objectives, will imply higher ASC in the equilibrium, while the intensity of use of information and communication technologies that lowers information costs has an undetermined effect on the equilibrium span of control. The empirical test of the hypotheses, with data from the Spanish regions, confirms that social capital-trust has a positive effect on the average span of control, while the sign of the effect of information–communication capital varies with the kind of information assets: communications, software or hardware.

Social Capital Formation and Diversity: Impacts of Individual and Place-Related Characteristics

Using structural equation modelling, we assess the degree to which the characteristics of both individuals and the cities in which they live may affect scores on three domains underlying social capital—trust, interaction and membership. We find that diversity, as it relates to both the individual and the city of residence, affects social capital formation. However, the impact of diversity is not necessarily negative. As the proportion of visible minorities in a city increases, the average level of trust decreases, suggesting that, on this dimension at least, increased diversity can have a negative impact on this aspect of social capital formation. However, as contextual or city-level diversity increases, the level of participation in organisations and trust in others increases. This suggests that bridging social capital can increase as diversity increases.

‘Social Capital’ and Corruption Demolition in Indonesia Case Studies: Indonesia’s Forest Fires and Prita Mulyasari

This working paper is exploring the ideas of 'using' social capital as a tool in corruption demolition in Indonesia. It started with the fact that the main thing needed in order to do the act of corruption is 'trust,' the same exact element which is the existence of social capital. Using two case studies in Indonesia, where trust can be used to 'move' public/country(ies) opinion, this paper shows that trust in social capital can be a powerful tool in corruption demolition.

Social Capital and Political Consumerism: A Multilevel Analysis

Does social capital–trust and association involvement–predict political consumerism–boycotting and buycotting? Using data from the 2002/2003 European Social Survey we conduct a multilevel logit analysis of 24,854 individuals nested in 228 within–country regions to evaluate whether social capital and political consumerism are positively related at both the individual and regional level. Findings indicate that individuals with greater personal social capital and those who live in regions with higher average levels of social capital are more likely to be political consumers. These results support previous fndings that link social capital with other forms of civic engagement.

Place, Community Development, and Social Capital

Over the past decade, the concept of social capital has become an important component of many community development strategies. In this article we argue that social capital is predicated on assumptions that raise a number of questions about its usefulness in a variety of different settings. The most important features of social capital—trust and norms of reciprocity—emerge from repeated and regularized interactions that are bounded in space and time. They depend on an existing, relatively unproblematic relationship between place and social interaction. In many communities, this is not a tenable assumption. We conclude by suggesting that an interactional approach to community development can be a useful alternative.
