Exploring the Impact of Bonding, Bridging and Linking Social Capital on Scaling Social Impact: An Emerging Economy Perspective

Although past research has established the importance of social capital for scaling social impact, few studies have quantitatively explored such relationships in the context of emerging economies. To fill this gap, we examine how bonding, bridging and linking social capital impact scaling social capital in an emerging economy context. Using structural equation modelling with AMOS 23, we have conducted a survey and found that all bonding, bridging, and linking social capital are significantly and positively associated with scaling social impact. These findings of our study generate important theoretical and managerial contributions which would advance the social entrepreneurship research domain significantly.
