Özet:

 All kinds of relationships that enable individuals to act in cooperation and coordinated with their environment are defined as social capital. The rapid developments in the economy with the Industrial Revolution caused the social capital to change as well. Social capital which represents interpersonal relations has gradually weakened. In the 1980s with the realization of the fact that the weakening social capital negatively affects the economy, social capital began to gain importance. Many studies have focused on the positive effect of social capital on innovation and economic growth, instead of investigating the question of why social capital is decreasing. Moreover, although it is considered to be important for the economy, the state of the reverse relationship has been neglected. The study was prepared in order to fill this gap in the literature. The effect of innovation on social capital has been analyzed over OECD countries. The selected sample for the years 2013-2017 was estimated by panel regression analysis. As a result of the estimation, it was found that innovation has a significant and negative effect on social capital. Accordingly, a business relationship based on interest, even if involves cooperation, doesnt feed social capital.

 Bireylerin çevresi ile iş birliği içerisinde ve koordineli hareket etmesini sağlayan her türlü ilişkisi sosyal sermaye olarak tanımlanır. Sanayi devrimi sonrasında ekonomide yaşanan hızlı gelişmeler, sosyal sermayenin de değişmesine neden olmuştur. Bireyler arası ilişkileri temsil eden sosyal sermaye giderek zayıflamıştır. 1980li yıllarda, zayıflayan sosyal sermayenin ekonomiyi olumsuz etkilediği gerçeğinin fark edilmesi ile sosyal sermaye önem kazanmaya başlamıştır. Bu alanda pek çok çalışma yapılmıştır. Ancak yapılan çalışmalar sosyal sermayenin neden azaldığı, neden kıt kaynak haline dönüştüğü sorularını araştırmak yerine, sosyal sermayenin inovasyon ve ekonomik büyümeye pozitif etkisi üzerine yoğunlaşmıştır. Üstelik ekonomi için önemli olduğu kabul edilmesine ve ekonomi üzerindeki etkisi devamlı araştırılmasına rağmen, tersine ilişkinin durumu ihmal edilmiştir. Çalışma, literatürdeki bu eksikliği gidermek amacıyla hazırlanmıştır. İnovasyonun sosyal sermaye üzerindeki etkisi OECD ülkeleri üzerinden analiz edilmiştir. 2013-2017 yıllarına ait seçilen örneklem panel regresyon analizi ile tahmin edilmiştir. Tahmin sonucunda, inovasyonun sosyal sermaye üzerinde anlamlı ve negatif etkisi olduğu bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Buna göre çıkar üzerine kurulu bir iş ilişki, iş birliği de içerse sosyal sermayeyi beslememektedir.
