Abstract
In the research, data were obtained from 200 different senior managers. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that the attitudes of senior managers in Türkiye, the general level of trust similar to the general structure in Türkiye, and the rate of civic participation are low. In this respect, in the context of weak and strong ties, which is the first type of social capital, it is seen that senior managers in Türkiye have weak and strong ties at a low level. Finally, it was concluded that senior managers in Türkiye are higher than all other types of social capital in terms of structural social capital based on the existence of network structures between individuals and conceptual social capital, which is a more abstract part of social capital and is representative of trust, norms, and common discourses.
