Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify factors affecting social capital of P.E instructors in Khorasan Razavi province. The study population consisted of Physical Education instructors (2481 people) in Khorasan Razavi province, 334 of whom were selected using Morgan table and based on combined stratified and random sampling to take part in this descriptive survey. Two questionnaires were used to collect demographic and social capital data: the former was designed by a researcher and the latter was Nahapiet and Ghoshal (1998) social capital questionnaire. The validity of the social capital questionnaire was approved by 10 to 13 sports management professors at the Ferdowsi University of Mashad and Azad University. The calculated reliability of the same questionnaire according to Cronbach’s Alpha was 0.94. Structural equation modeling techniques were used to analyze the data. Our findings revealed that relational and structural dimensions were the top most important effective factors in social capital formation of the participants, while the cognitive dimension was demonstrated to be the least important factor in this regards. In general, the results showed that all the three cognitive, structural and relational dimensions were positively effective in the social capital formation of P.E instructors in Khorasan Razavi province.
