Abstract :
The culture of cooperation and teamwork can provide the basis for comprehensive economic, cultural, and social development in society. In recent years, given the importance of the culture of cooperation and teamwork, numerous studies have been conducted in the field of social capital with the culture of cooperation and teamwork. Considering the abundance and diversity of research conducted in the field of the culture of cooperation and teamwork, there is a need to conduct combined research such as meta-analysis in this field. The main question of the present study is: What is the effect of social capital on the culture of cooperation and teamwork in the research conducted? The research method of the present study is meta-analysis. The statistical population of the study is all valid scientific research published in the years 2001 to 2023 on the subject of social capital and the culture of cooperation and teamwork. Finally, 17 studies were selected and analyzed with the comprehensive meta-analysis software (CMA2). The research findings showed that social trust, relationship network, responsive education and social norms were the most frequent independent variables in the reviewed studies. The effect size of the relationship network on the culture of cooperation and teamwork was equal to 0.56. Also, the effect of social trust on the culture of cooperation and teamwork was calculated to be 0.31. Education has an effect equal to 0.26 on the culture of cooperation and teamwork. The effect size of social norms on the culture of cooperation and teamwork was equal to 0.23.
