Social capital is relevant to every aspect of human existence as it facilitates information flows and distributes other forms of capital in ways that would otherwise not occur.
I receive emails almost every day from people who are looking to apply social capital to an aspect of social, political, economic, educational, environmental, or an other endevour.
All these applications are relevant, and I wish every researcher success with their social capital work.
Hi. If you ever have time, please make suggestions for what I could read about social capital. I am a small time landlord in California. I am writing a Ph.d dissertation about a new model for landlord-tenant relationships based on my experience. I treated the tenants with great respect, kept the rent a bit low, answered calls very quickly, made everyone think every problem they reported was VERY important! A professor said I should look at social capital. I would see this is as an element of organizational psychology … Anyway, perhaps you will be in touch.
Thanks for your comment Jennifer, we have a lot of articles on social capital on this website and we host regular webinars (check the Events link). We also we have a Facebook group for social capital research where you will find sharing of ideas and support. https://www.facebook.com/groups/socialcapitalresearch
