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 issue of community independence is the central theme of national development which is the responsibility of all elements of the nation, including government, the private sector and any organization. Viewed from the government's point of view, this is clearly seen from the partisanship of empowerment policies and development through village funds that are very adequate to reach a developed and empowered village. The implementation or practice of corporate social responsibility has a direct influence on the role of community institutions and the role of community institutions directly influences the strengthening of community social capital. This community institution directly influences the improvement of community welfare and CSR programs must be able to increase community capacity for long-term activities (sustainable). The company must continue to encourage program recipients to have responsibility and ownership of the program implemented in order to strengthen social capital and the Company must implement a more concrete CSR program in increasing income economically because it is the main goal in the concept triple bottom CSR.

SummaryThe enterprise is presently perceived as a source of social capital development. The development of social capital within an enterprise is visible through the increase of level of potential of its dimensions, e.g. increase of the level of trust in interpersonal contacts, striking a bigger number of close contacts with coworkers, or developing by the employees’ new capabilities and competencies. Modern enterprises are no longer competing only through traditional, i.e. hard means of production, presently they concentrate also on intangible resources, among which, social capital is becoming an important source of value creation. Modern management of economic organizations puts growing emphasis on the ability to join, balance and adjust tangible and intangible assets, including broadening and developing social capital, relevant from the point of view of effective cooperation and realization of different economic goals. The ability to enterprises to create and broaden intellectual resources, including social capital, as well as appropriate relational and social links, has decisive relevance for generating unique competencies, especially precious for the maintenance of lasting competitive advantage. It is in this article that the key issues of social capital in enterprises are presented with the use of a critical review of the literature on this subject. It is a new and simultaneously very topical issue that is reflected in numerous theoretical and empirical studies published in the world literature over the last years. The aim of this article is to present the concept of social capital by taking into account the influence of this capital on functioning of an enterprise.

Drawing upon the Churchill and Lewis stage growth model of enterprises, this study explains the role of social capital possessed by women entrepreneurs in different stages of growth within their firms. Friends and family as well as women-only networks in the start-up stage; customers, staff, and suppliers in the survival stage; mixed networks as well as business and professional advisers in the success and take-off stages; and suppliers and/or distributors in the maturity stage have been found to be the main sources of women entrepreneurs' social capital. In particular, the study highlights industry differences as well as norms of behavior based on trust and obligation through which they successfully transform their contacts into useful resources. The availability of these resources as well as access to information, advice, and ideas act as a catalyst in developing and growing their businesses.

The aim of this article was to contribute to the understanding of the role of intermediary organizations, and especially of network administrative organizations (NAOs) in the development of social capital in interorganizational networks in the food sector in particular. Our study shows that there are many options available to NAOs to build social capital within the networks they are responsible for; options which we propose to categorize in three main distinct groups. First, NAOs may nurture the development of social capital within the network through creating ‘space’ boundary objects which appear, in our study, to be an absolute precondition for the development of interactions and hence creation of ties between network members. Second, NAOs may impact the development of social capital by favoring certain members – or set of members – over others due to their characteristics such as good reputation, possession of common past experiences, multidisciplinary experiences, non-conflicting goals, similarity in terms of sector of activity and/or experience level and common mindset towards information exchange. Third and finally, NAOs may foster social capital development by enhancing effective communication between members on the one hand, and between members and the NAOs’ coordination and decision bodies on the other hand, via a clear mandate, network decision making bodies composed of members, the use of ex-post evaluations and formal governance mechanisms (e.g. legal contracts), and the selection of staff endowed with a proactive and perspective taking behavior and able to show neutrality when conflict arise.

In the knowledge-based economy, the role of intangible factors in providing economic development is increasing, thus mainstreaming research on the methodological foundations forming such factors, as well as the mechanisms of their impact on the state of economies. One of such factors is social capital, which is a set of stable communications within institutional environment, whose work is based on trust. The article aims at revealing the role of social capital in providing economic development, in general, and assessing its impact on Ukraine’s economic development, in particular. The research is based on the principles of the systemic approach and was carried out using such methods as analysis and synthesis, logical generalization, graphical and tabular methods of data presentation, and systematization method. The ways in which social capital influences the development of the economy are analyzed. They can be traced in the reduction of the transaction costs level, government corruptness, and shadow economy; the creation of new available forms of business financing. Using the main indicators of the social capital level, it has become possible to establish relation between social cohesion, social conditions and economic development of states. Ukraine’s place among other states as for its social capital level is considered. Connection between social capital development, the dynamics of economic development, and prosperity index is proven.

This paper is concerned with the role of network administrative organizations (NAOs) in the development of social capital in interorganizationalnetworks aiming at supporting their members to innovate in the food sector through interacting with one another. A multi-case study approach is used whereby three Belgian interorganizational networks are investigated i.e. Wagralim, Réseau-Club and Flanders Food.Our study shows that there are many options available to NAOs to build social capital within the networks they are responsible for. We propose to categorize these options in three main distinct groups. First, NAOs may nurture the development of social capital within the network through creating ‘space’ boundary objects which appear, in our study, to be an absolute precondition for the development of interactions and hence creation of ties between network members. Second, NAOs may impact the development of social capital by favoring certain members – or set of members – over others due to their characteristics such as good reputation, possession of common past experiences, multidisciplinary  experiences, non-conflicting goals, similarity in terms of sector of activity and/or experience level and common mindset towards information exchange. Third and finally, NAOs may foster social capital development by enhancing effective communication between members on the one hand, and between members and the NAOs’ coordination and decision bodies on the other hand, via a clear mandate, network decision makingbodies composed of members, the use of ex-post evaluations and formal governance mechanisms (e.g. legal contracts), and the selection of staff endowed with a proactive and perspective taking behavior and able to show neutrality when conflict arise.
