| Social capital represents an untapped resource with the potential to boost business efficiency and drive development. This prompts the need for research, as businesses could achieve greater productivity by emphasizing the value of social capital. However, the existing literature and research have underscored the challenges in developing effective tools for measuring social capital, thus leading to its inefficient utilization. This chapter aims to showcase the outcomes of studies on the social capital levels within selected production companies. Based on these findings, it intends to offer recommendations for fostering this type of capital. To measure social capital, exclusive psychometric tools were employed that allowed for an assessment of both overall social capital and its three dimensions: structural, relational, and cognitive. The study’s results are presented through illustrative case studies. Analyzing these findings facilitated the identification of companies with substantial and limited social capital across distinct employee groups: managers, administrative staff, and production employees. Moreover, it identified strengths and shortcomings in relational, cognitive, and structural aspects. This analysis subsequently provided the foundation for tailored recommendations that are aimed at fortifying specific facets of social capital within the selected companies. |
