Organizational Social Capital and Generalized Trust in Korea
2015
Son, Joonmo
Engagement in voluntary associations and the organizational social capital their members accumulate in the public arena may grow generalized trust by exposing members to diverse social ties outside the individual social network. Taking Korea as a case and using a nationally representative data set, I test a set of hypotheses to identify the relationship between organizational social capital and generalized trust. Specifically, empirical tests verify that (a) organizational social capital comprises organizational diversity and resources and (b) it has a positive relationship with generalized trust. Apart from the relationship between organizational social capital and generalized trust, the results indicate that political dissatisfaction and corruption in the public service constitutes a political institutional contingency that decreases generalized trust in Korea.
