This study investigates the impact of social capital on youth crime reduction, with a particular focus on the mediating role of group participation. Utilizing Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS), the research examines data from 600 youth respondents in Malang Raya, Indonesia. Social capital is operationalized into three dimensions: bonding, bridging, and linking. The findings reveal that all three forms of social capital significantly reduce criminal behavior among youth, both directly and indirectly. Bonding social capital, which reflects close emotional ties and strong interpersonal trust, exhibited the most consistent influence by reinforcing informal social control through family and neighborhood networks. Bridging social capital, representing diverse and cross-community networks, enhanced tolerance and social awareness that mitigated deviant behavior. Linking social capital, which connects youth to formal institutions, showed a more complex pattern effective when direct, yet potentially counterproductive when mediated by passive or symbolic group participation. Group participation emerged as a significant mediating variable, transforming social ties into behavioral norms and collective accountability. While bonding and bridging social capital strengthened participation that led to crime deterrence, the mediating role of linking social capital highlighted the need for meaningful engagement in institutional settings. These findings underscore the importance of promoting authentic, inclusive, and sustained youth involvement in both grassroots and institutional group settings. The study offers policy recommendations emphasizing participatory governance, youth-led community initiatives, and investment in social infrastructure as essential strategies for crime prevention. Overall, the research contributes to the growing body of literature that frames social capital as a foundational resource in building safer and more resilient communities.

The COVID-19 phenomenon led to an increase in the digitalization of the tourism sector, reducing the demand for services and affecting business performance. There is no doubt that leadership plays a fundamental role in the management of organizations. Therefore, it is necessary to delve deeper into the study of the collaborative style to build social capital and measure the impact it can generate on the performance of tourism companies. The influence of collaborative leadership, in its dimensions of resources and work environment, as well as the mobilization of interest groups, on financial and non-financial performance was analyzed, in addition to the mediation of social capital in this relationship. It was carried out under a quantitative approach, not experimenting in the design, taking the data only once, the sample was made up of 782 representatives of Peruvian tourism companies, using self-administered questionnaires and SEM for the analysis. The results indicate that resources and the work environment positively impact financial performance, but not social capital. Furthermore, stakeholder management influences both non-financial performance and social capital. Likewise, it is confirmed that social capital positively affects both dimensions of organizational performance. A partial mediation of social capital was found, as stakeholder management was associated with non-financial performance, with no mediation in the relationship between resources and work environment on financial performance. These findings highlight the need to strengthen collaborative leadership to improve the performance levels of companies that provide tourism services.

The export development of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia is still very low, resulting in their contribution to national exports being very small as well. Government bodies and relevant stakeholders are actively pursuing initiatives to enhance the export performance of SMEs. These efforts include improving the quality of human and social capital and promoting the integration of digital technology into SME operations. This examination evaluates the impact of human capital (HC), social capital (SC), and the utilization of digital technology on the export performance of SMEs. The investigation adopted a survey approach on all export-oriented SMEs listed on the Bank Indonesia website. Data was obtained through the distribution of questionnaires to 614 SMEs. Data analysis was conducted using PLS SEM. The research findings indicate that human capital, social capital, and digital technology have a positive and significant influence on the export performance of SMEs in Indonesia.

Literature indicates it is crucial to understand how SMEs could adapt to changes in their external environment to develop a competitive advantage. However, there is limited discussion on how entrepreneurs’ resilience functions as one of the dynamic capabilities required to maintain their company’s competitive advantage in the long-term. This study aimed to investigate how entrepreneurial resilience affects SMEs ability to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. It also analyzed the moderating role of local cultural values in reinforcing resilience and sustainable competitive advantage. The population consisted of 400 handicraft SME who were thought of as Bali’s sustaining tourism sector. The results demonstrated that financial capital, human capital, and social capital were factors that shaped entrepreneurial resilience, where the ownership of capital and access to capital helped entrepreneurs when encountering changes in the dynamic and challenging industrial environment, where the role of financial capital was one of the sources of resilience that had the most significant influence. Furthermore, entrepreneurial resilience also contributed significantly to the achievement of sustainable competitive advantage. Moreover, the results also indicate that local cultural values strengthen entrepreneurial resilience because entrepreneurs who adjusted to local cultural norms developed in the surrounding community tended to respond positively to their behavior. Positive environmental acceptance could reinforce entrepreneurial resilience, given the psychological support of their behavior.

This article aims to construct and empirically verify a model that demonstrates the association between social capital dimensions, knowledge sharing, and firm performance. For data collection, a questionnaire was delivered to medium and small enterprises across Ho Chi Minh City using convenience sampling. To verify the proposed relationships, the data collected from 543 middle and top managers of medium and small enterprises were then examined using Structural Equation Modelling. Overall, explicit and tacit knowledge sharing are fostered as a result of all social capital dimensions. In a similar vein, both types of knowledge sharing influence firm performance. The study proposes a guide as to how firms should achieve better performance by promoting social capital and knowledge sharing.

This article investigates the causal connection between social capital (SC), knowledge transfer, innovation and firm performance. Based on existing literature on social capital, we develop a research model showing that three dimensions of social capital, including network ties, trust and shared visions, have positive relationships with company performance via two mediators, namely knowledge transfer and innovation. Using a sample of 153 Vietnamese firms, including one to two respondents from each firm, our study applied structural equation modeling to confirm the hypotheses. The results show that all three dimensions of social capital were positively related to firm performance with knowledge transfer and innovation acting as mediators. Knowledge transfer and the company's innovation were found to have a strong as-sociation with each other. Academically, this paper offers an opportunity to investigate social capital in terms of other factors in one specific industry. Practically, our findings motivate firms to focus on improving knowledge transfer on both quantity and quality prospects to boost firm performance.

The article substantiates the essence of the concept of “social capital” as a resource in terms of formed, permanent, established types of highly effective socio-economic interactions. In addition, the main directions of its manifestation and its structural elements are defined. It is stated that for quantitative measurement of social capital at the enterprise level, it is necessary to establish its precise framework, to determine its structure and key features. As an object of accounting, social capital should be regarded as an intangible asset. The expediency of using the Value explorer method for social capital estimation, which requires some necessary steps, has been substantiated as follows: the use of clearly established algorithm of actions in the implementation of rational selection for a new product; the use of internal and external innovations in the process of generating new ideas and production of innovations within the framework of the product realization strategy; identify areas of key competitive advantages related to social capital; determining the role of the sphere of competitive advantages in production and sales of products; gross profit distribution by key competitive advantages; calculation of the potential of the competitive advantages sphere; assessment of the durability and sustainability of the competitive advantages of the enterprise and calculation of the present value of all elements of social capital of the enterprise. Five main levels of social intangibles are identified and grounded. The study allows to form an appropriate matrix to analyze the effectiveness of their use in the enterprise.
