Özet

Social capital and organizational commitment and performance have long been the subjects of many studies as these concepts drive organizational outputs. This study aims to investigate the relationships between these concepts. The study collected data using a questionnaire survey comprising 26 questions conducted with 308 officers working in the tax offices of the provinces of Diyarbakir, Batman and Mardin in Southeastern Turkey. A separate form was used to collect some demographic variables from the respondents. The findings indicate a positive and significant relationship between social capital and performance. This study also confirmed that organizational commitment has a mediating effect between social capital and performance.
