“…Thus, personal interactions and networks both within and outside the organisation have significant implication on the creative thinking of an organisation's employees. The results are consistent with Sözbilir (2018), Paramitha and Indarti (2014), Dehnavieh et al (2010) as well as Jamshidi and Kenarsari (2015).…”

“…Several studies have been conducted on creativity in recent times, focusing on some major predictors like technological development (World Economic Forum, 2018;Bonnardel & Zenasni, 2010;Gangadharbatla, 2010;Müller & Ulrich, 2013), competitive pressure (Meutia & Ismail, 2017), social capital (Paramitha & Indarti, 2014;Dehnavieh et al, 2010;Jamshidi & Kenarsari, 2015;Sözbilir, 2018), and personality traits (Prabhu et al, 2008;Abdullah et al, 2016). However, only a few of the studies related creativity to organisational efficiency.…”

The study investigated creativity and organisational efficiency in Nigerian private organisations to ascertain the extent to which workforce creativity enhances organisational efficiency. The quantitative methodology was employed and the research design was a cross-sectional survey. Stratified sampling was employed in selecting respondents from ten multinational companies across the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria. Research data were elicited from the respondents with the help of a structured questionnaire. The question response format of items addressing the research questions in the questionnaire were of the five-point Likert scale. The study used measurement items related to the extant literature for all the measures. Structural equation modeling was employed in data analysis with organisational efficiency serving as the latent variable while creativity constructs served as the measured variables. Results show that three out of the four constructs of creativity were significant predictors of creativity Thus, the competitive environment, social capital and technological factors influence creativity and that creativity predicts organisational efficiency.

“…It was found that trust among employees is the most basic foundation for interpersonal relations. Trust enhances honesty within the workplace and facilitates the access to the important information (Jamshidi and Kenarsari, 2015). Contrarily to previous research, Chen et al (2007) found when measuring the effect of trust among employees within the research and development (R&D) project teams, that its existence between employees is not a pre-condition for employees’ creativity in R&D project teams.…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the theoretical limitations of the social network theory applied on employee creativity. Design/methodology/approach By combining the social network theory and componential model of creativity, this study studies the possible impact of social capital through its three dimensions (structural, relational and cognitive dimension) on individual creativity, to explore then the moderating effect of cognitive style as individual characteristic on the structural dimension of social capital such weak ties and employee creativity. Findings The results show that, on a sample of 95 employees belonging to four companies in the IT sector, predictions based on the social network theory are only weakly verified. Indeed, the relational and cognitive dimensions of social capital do not have a significant impact on individual creativity. Originality/value Based on Kim et al.’s (2016) call for future research, this study extends the assumptions of the social network theory announcing that social capital through its structural dimension may have an identical impact on individual creativity in all circumstances.

“…Proper design of social capital can solve the problems that arise from the existence of different social groups within the communities (Bilodeau and White, 2016;Tham-Agyekum and Nimoh, 2013;Evergeti and Zontini, 2006;Jacobs and Tillie, 2004). According to Perkins and Long (2002), "sense of community" is an important dimension of social capital as it expresses the combined effect of networking, reciprocity and trust (Lowea et al, 2016;Sama et al, 2016;Jamshidi and Kenarsari, 2015;De Blasi et al, 2012;Casieri et al, 2010). Immigrants are an organic part of the host society and their integration must be a fundamental concern of societies.…”

This paper aims to develop methodological tools which will contribute to estimate the impact of social capital on the integration of immigrants alongside the Rural-Urban Continuum of the Prefecture of Thessaloniki. The importance of this paper derives from the current debate in this respect with insufficient infrastructures for smooth integration of immigrants into societies and the need to develop an immigration policy which emphasizes the strengthening of policies on the development of multiculturalism and social cohesion. For this purpose, a survey was carried out in 607 residents of the Prefecture of Thessaloniki during the period June to November 2016. The data collected and other information were utilized according to simple descriptive or multivariate statistical analyzes as well as qualitative techniques. Based on the descriptive statistical analyzes the paper concluded that "social capital" is key component in the structure of the relationship between natives and immigrants and according to the results of CatReg models the main reason, which has a positive impact on the "integration" of immigrants, is their participation in community activities. Contribution/ Originality The survey provides information for integration of immigrants, a topic not widely examined in Greece, and it is analyzed for the first time on the basis of rural-urban continuum theory.
