Much sport-for-development (SFD) research has focused on the impact initiatives have on participants, and not on other stakeholders such as volunteers. Some research suggests volunteerism enables social capital gains, while other scholars have been skeptical, with even less known about how volunteers are impacted by working for SFD events rather than for ongoing programs. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate how, if at all, a large, multinational SFD event contributed to social capital development of volunteers. Findings revealed volunteers experienced social capital development through building relationships, learning, and enhanced motivation to work for social change and reciprocity. As very little research has examined the efficacy of SFD events in contributing to social capital development, the findings extend the literature on SFD events. It would be prudent for SFD events to target programming to impact the experience of volunteers to retain them and contribute to social capital development.

The Impact

Extending the literature on social capital development in the community, this article examines the impact of diverse social interactions (in the community and the workplace) on the development of social trust in the workplace, and investigates whether their effects differ in individualistic and collectivistic cultures. Using survey data collected in Canada and China, the authors find that the diversity of one’s social interactions in the community is positively associated with one’s social trust in the workplace, and this relationship is not significantly different between the two cultures. Diversity of one’s social interactions in the workplace is also positively associated with one’s social trust in the workplace, though only in collectivistic cultures.

The Impact

The article explores the components of the system of social capital development in the economic emergence, which focus on the financial provision of social protection and social interaction in professional activities. In order to identify the impact of the effectiveness of the implementation of the country’s social policy on the development of social capital through the achievement of systemic effects (synergistic and emergent), a four-factor model of performance and financial performance has been developed (State social support). The construction proposes an orderly set of rules for the organization and interaction of the constituent elements of the system of social capital development in the economic emergence, where subparticles with integrative relationships and influencing factors are distinguished. The results of the four factor model present a scientific and practical approach to calculating the systemic effect (synergistic and emergent effects) in the form of the results of the implementation of the properties of the system, which could not be predicted by direct calculation of the sum of the components of the system as a whole. Four factor models applied methods for detecting the isolated influence of chain substitution factors and logarithmic methods. The simulation method presented on macroeconomic factors influencing the development of social capital of Ukraine has been tested. The system of conditions for effective budget funding (financial support) for the development of social capital is presented, influencing the increase of positive and negative systemic effects

The Impact

In the call for proposals for this special issue, activist networks were defined as virtual or in person communities devoted to social change. The impact for girls active in these networks has been shown to promote identity development and de-marginalization/empowerment/reclamation of political spaces where girls are marginalized, intergenerational collaboration among women, and community building among feminists. In this study, we seek to explore how women at different generational points reflect on and remember their engagement in social activism. Understanding how these generational shifts affect the impact of social capital on the lives of these women and the changes we might see as they mature into leaders will provide a platform to better understand the influence of belonging to such networks during girlhood.

ABSTRACTEleven years after the publication of Richard Titmuss's essay on Income Distribution and Social Change, the official statisticians are still drawing optimistic conclusions about the tendency of income inequality to decline in Britain. This article re-examines some of the critical questions raised by Titmuss concerning the accuracy and interpretation of the official statistics. It considers the definition of income, the implications of capital gains, fringe benefits and the benefits from owner-occupation, the role of life-cycle factors, and the measurement of inequality. It concludes with an assessment of the impact of Titmuss's study on the quality of statistical information and on attitudes and beliefs.

The Relationship

This study examines the relationship between the use of Social Network Sites and the formation of social capital. Using data from a web survey of employees in Japan (n = 244) and Brazil (n = 251), positive associations between SNS use and social capital development were found in both countries. Cultural differences seem to influence this process; in Brazil, intensity of SNS use has a stronger association with bridging and bonding social capital when perceived enjoyment is high; in Japan, employees use SNS for usefulness and enjoyment reasons, but perceived enjoyment does not interfere with social capital gains. Implications and future research are discussed.

Live streamers’ power and attraction influence consumer behavior. This study focuses on streamer-central formed social capital and the relationship between streamers and audiences on live streaming video platforms (LSVP). First, we explored the impact of trust, norm of reciprocity, and network on social capital formation. Second, we investigated the effect of social capital on streamers’ attributes (attractiveness, expertise, and trustworthiness) and on the audience’s social capital formation. The main findings show that trust and network positively affect social capital. Social capital increases the level of streamers’ attractiveness, expertise, and trustworthiness perceived by the audience, which facilitates sustainable development of the LSVP and the streamer. Perceived streamers’ attractiveness negatively affects social capital formation, while perceived expertise positively affects it. To promote social capital development, streamers and operators of LSVPs should continuously emphasize social capital formation. Moreover, LSVPs should provide audiences with novel and interesting content to enable active networking. For sustainable development of LSVPs, when providing live streaming video services, streamers should deliver content that the audience perceives as based on their expertise rather than on their physical attractiveness.

FDI brings capital, innovation exchanges and new employments and administration aptitude. In numerous nations, FDI inflow is lower than anticipated. In spite of the inclination for more extensive large scale level examinations of the particular social developments inside which financial exercises happen, a considerable measure of national-level investigations of the determinants of outside contributed firms have given careful consideration to the parts played by social capital and its unexpected incentive in influencing remote direct venture inflows. Drawing on the rationale of social capital and institutional hypothesis, this article looks to offer a correlative clarification of FDI by inspecting experimentally the national-level effects of social capital (trust and affiliated action) on FDI and the directing part of administrative quality in its connections. FDI is the essential part for an open and fruitful global monetary framework and a noteworthy instrument for improvement. In this condition, the paper looks at the advantages of FDI as a key segment for fruitful and feasible financial development and as a piece of a strategy to social change. The point is to feature the most vital channels through which FDI makes a huge and uncommon effect on the monetary advancement of the host nations.
