Social capital constitutes a set of values that lets individuals work together in a team to effectively attain a common purpose. It is also considered as a set of links between organizational members, which leads to the creation of trust and interaction. As social capital resides in social relationships, these relationships act as assets representing the level of members’ collective goal orientation and shared trust. These informal relationships are Organizational Citizenship Behaviours (OCB) which have been suggested to enhance organizational effectiveness. The absence of social capital, not only causes difficulties for the progress towards organizational development, but also it might destroy such constructive relationships. In addition, OCB has been shown to have an important impact on an organization’s effectiveness, efficiency, and overall performance of organizations. Therefore, conducting research in the area of ' social capital and organizational citizenship behaviour amongst health workforce' can help provide effective evidence for the promotion of various organizations, including health care institutions.
The psychosocial environment of the workplace as a determinant of employee health should receive more attention in today's organizational life. For example, characteristics of workplace social capital, specifically social cohesion, trust, and social networks might influence employees’ health and productivity. Despite the importance of the issue, limited studies have been conducted to evaluate the workplace social capital and its consequences particularly in the health system. The aim of the current Research Topic is to cover promising, and novel research trends in the field of social capital and organizational citizenship behaviour.
Areas to be covered in the Research Topic of 'Social capital and organizational citizenship behaviour' include, but are not limited to:
- Intangible assets and organizational citizenship behavior
- Organizational commitment
- Social capital and different leadership styles
- Mental health based on social capital and organizational citizenship
- Work-life satisfaction and social capital factors
- Organizational citizenship and patient safety culture
- Organizational citizenship behavior and hospital performance
- Psychological capital and organizational citizenship behaviors
- Organizational trust and workplace spirituality
- Resilience and social capital
- Perceived stress and social capital
We are interested to receive original articles, reviews, meta-analysis, short communication, and editorial.
