Abstract:

Focus of this working paper is a discussion of the explication of the construct Social Capital and the measures communication scholars employ in operationalizing social relationships as part of social capital. We found that, while some scholars use similar measures of social capital, the conceptualizations vary, and that operationalizations are not uniformly used. Moreover the linkage between the concepts and the measures is not always clear. We note that the operational measures can often be categorized along two dimensions: an informal-formal dimension and a static-dynamic dimension. Purpose of this critique is to engage our peers in a discussion of the conceptual and operational work in social capital research.
