Abstract: This
paper aims at finding the relationships between social capital and job
satisfaction in private service organizations (hospitals). An experimental
method is performed to study the relationship between social capital variables
and job satisfaction in three private hospitals to analyze their
direct/indirect relationships with job satisfaction. The present paper
indicates that there is a direct, positive, and significant relationship
between trust and job satisfaction. Trust will lead to more satisfaction. There
is also an indirect, positive, and significant relationship between formal
networks and job satisfaction but through trust variable. There is no
direct/indirect relationship between action norms and job satisfaction. It has
also been found that there is a direct, significant, but negative relationship
between educational level and job satisfaction. This analysis had been
performed in private organizations and further analysis shall be done in
non-private organizations. Social capital is so tied to trust that in almost
all organizations efforts have to be taken to promote trust among members and
between members and organization. There is neither direct nor indirect
relationship between action norms and job satisfaction, so social capital can
either be supportive or not supportive.
