Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, sosyal sermayesini güçlendiren aktörlerin kurumsal mantıkların değişiminde rol sahibi olabileceklerini kavramsal olarak ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bu bu bağlamda hangi konumdaki aktörün, merkezdeki mi yoksa periferideki mi, güçlü bağlara mı yoksa zayıf bağlara mı sahip olan ya da aracı konumundaki aktörün mü kurumsal mantıklarda değişimi daha etkin sağlayabileceği açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışma, aktör eylemliliği ve kurumsal belirlenimcilik arasındaki çelişkinin varlığına dikkat çekerek, inanç ve eylemleri kurumsal çevre tarafından şekillendirilen aktörlerin kurumsal mantıkları nasıl değiştirebileceği sorunsalından yola çıkılarak hazırlanmıştır. Çalışmada sosyal sermaye kavramına odaklanılarak, sosyal ağ ve ilişkilerle yaratılan sosyal sermaye bir kaynak olarak ele alınmıştır. Her ne kadar sosyal sermayenin ve sosyal iletişim ağlarının değerli bir servet olduğuna işaret edilse de, sosyal sermayenin nasıl oluşturulduğu noktasından hareketle, sosyal sermayenin aktörün bilinçli eylemliliği ile mi yoksa sosyal yapıda yerleşik ilişkiler ile mi yaratıldığı tartışılmıştır. Bu kapsamda, kurumsal mantıkları değiştirmede geniş bir yelpazeye hitap eden hem mikro hem de makro yaklaşımın nimetlerinden yararlanan sosyal ağ konumu ve kurulan bağların gerekliliğine vurgu yapılmıştır. Çünkü, sosyal sermayenin hem aktörün bilinçli eylemliliği ile hem de sosyal yapıda yerleşik ilişkiler ile yaratılabildiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
