چکیده:
In the third millennium AD, knowledge custodians are expected, by benefiting from social capital especially in the academic arena, to play an active role in solving society's problems while creating new knowledge as hidden capitals. Accordingly, this article aims to analyze the impact of social capital on knowledge entrepreneurship from a sociological perspective, with the goal of determining the level of knowledge entrepreneurship at the University of Isfahan. The research method is descriptive-survey, and the statistical population of this research includes 476 members of the faculty of the University of Isfahan (year 1387), from which 142 people were selected using the Cochran formula through random sampling. The statistical method used includes multivariate regression and path analysis, and for calculating path coefficients, LISREL method estimates were used. The research results indicate that there is a significant relationship between knowledge entrepreneurship and social capital. This shows that if the social capital of professors is increased, the level of knowledge entrepreneurship will also be enhanced. Finally, the explanatory power of the independent variables used in explaining the variance of the dependent variable (knowledge entrepreneurship) was 19 percent. The rest is related to the impact of other variables that were not considered in the present research.

A Sociological Study of the Impact of Social Capital on Knowledge Creation Mohammad Abbaszadeh, Leila Moqtadaei (Received date: 2009/06/28, Accepted date: 2009/03/23) Abstract: In the third millennium AD, knowledge custodians are expected, by possessing social capital especially in the academic arena, to play an active role in solving society's problems while creating new knowledge as hidden assets.
A review of theoretical texts regarding social capital also clarifies how important the relationship between the aforementioned concept and knowledge creation and other scientific phenomena has been for university professors; because the main issue in the field of social capital is the extent of faculty members' participation in scientific social networks and the quality of their mental and physical follow-up with these networks.
Putnam considers social capital to be a set of concepts, such as trust, norms, and networks, which cause the creation of optimal communication and participation among members of a society and will ultimately provide their mutual benefits.
In a research where Miguelez, Moreno, and ArtI?s1, with the subject "The Role of Social Capital in Creating and Strengthening Knowledge Creation" in Spain in 2008, worked, they have concluded that categories such as trust, cooperation between individuals and with public organizations, have a significant impact on technological innovations and, in other words, knowledge creation.
The final result is that the number of acceptable dimensions for the knowledge creation construct was identified as four factors: socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization, which together were able to explain 69.
