“…Social capital relates to the features of social networks, associated norms, and trustworthiness that enable members to more effectively collaborate in pursuit of shared objectives [53]. Pendakur and Mata [54] suggest that bridging social capital can increase as network diversity increases. Burt [55] states that actors who occupy broker or bridging positions, structural holes, between subnetworks within networks benefit from having access to diverse pools of resources, information, and knowledge that are usually unavailable.…”

Due to the current rise in concern about the challenge of global warming, stakeholders are now more conscious than in the past regarding environmental concerns. Stakeholders are more likely than ever before to support companies that are environmentally friendly. Simultaneously, companies seek to develop their social networks in such a way as to enhance their green innovation. This study investigates the influences of network embeddedness and network diversity on green innovation. In addition, this research discusses the mediation effects of green social capital. We adopt structural equation modeling for testing the research framework. A total of 330 valid questionnaires are collected. The results demonstrate that network embeddedness positively affects green social capital and green innovation performance. However, although network diversity positively affects green innovation performance, it does not significantly influence green social capital. Furthermore, the study indicates that green social capital partially mediates the relationship between network embeddedness and green innovation performance.

“…Thus, well--developed social capital has benefits of dual support, originating from within their communities and through access to other communities. Bridging social capital has benefits which include opportunities to gain better--suited employment, further language learning to high proficiency levels, and creating diverse social networks (Aizlewood & Pendakur, 2005;Pendakur & Mata, 2012). While the social capital theory has not been directly applied to the integration of international students and graduates in Canada, the application of the concept to the population has similar benefits to social capital building for traditional immigrant populations.…”

“…The international student service--programming scan found only one incentive to promote employer awareness of international graduates entering the and labour market readiness, more can be done to connect international students with resources to explore labour market options. Traditionally applied to permanent immigrant groups living in communities with only co--ethnics, bonding social capital is understood as the relationships with co--ethnics that comforts, reduces culture shock and provides close social networks for personal and family support (Putnam, 2006;Pendakur & Mata, 2012). Conversely, bridging social capital represents the more difficult to form relationships with members not affiliated with an immigrant's ethnic community.…”

International students in Canada: policies and practices for social inclusion

Despite federal policy changes facilitating the recruitment and retention of international students in Canada, programming at Canadian universities is uneven and has created conditions for the population’s social exclusion. Canadian immigration policy has positioned international students as a desirable cohort of prospective immigrants, due to their age, economic potential, education, and official language skills. Canada’s 2014 International Education Strategy aims to double the number of international students, retaining them as economic migrants, and later permanent residents. However, temporary legal status and limited access to federally funded settlement services positions post- secondary institutions as the population’s primary settlement service provider, compounding the barriers to successful societal integration. As such, international graduates face barriers that mirror those of traditional immigrants. Critically exploring Canadian policy and post-secondary programming relating to international students, this paper applies the social inclusion perspective to recommend policy modifications and service approaches to ensure greater inclusion of international students.

“…In fact, diversity may assist in developing bridging social capital. As contextual or city-level diversity increased in Canada, the level of participation in organizations and trust in others increased [31]. However, increasing Latino isolation in the United States [32] may limit opportunities to develop weak ties necessary for developing social capital.…”

“…Social capital is a dimension of community integration that is an artifact of people's ties to their communities and their institutions. Civic participation increases generalized social trust [6,31], and increasing participation in community institutions is generally viewed as an effective strategy for developing strong communities and democracy. Community participation and social capital have been found to be significantly higher for adults in households with children.…”

Social Capital Accumulation among Puerto Rican Mothers in Urban Neighborhoods

Abstract:Social capital provides access to material and personal resources through participation in social networks and other social structures. Social capital may not function equally for all populations, especially those living in residentially segregated urban neighborhoods with increased levels of poverty. This is because inequalities exist in social capital accumulation and are found where disadvantaged socioeconomic groups cluster. Using probabilistic household survey data consisting of 205 Puerto Rican mothers in Springfield, Massachusetts in 2013, this research tests hypotheses regarding the association of social capital accumulation with Puerto Rican mothers' individual, neighborhood, and social network characteristics. Logistic regression results suggested that Puerto Rican mothers who were employed and lived in neighborhoods with other Latinos were more likely to accumulate social capital. In addition, mothers who participated in activities of their children also had increased social capital accumulation. This neighborhood effect on social capital accumulation may promote bonding social capital but not bridging social capital among these Puerto Rican mothers.
