kapsayan bir kavram olarak sürekli artabilmektedir. Sosyal sermaye kuramı kadın

önemli olduğuna vurgu yapmaktadır. Sosyal sermaye ve insan sermayesi arasındaki
ilişki önemlidir. Bu bağlamda bu çalışmada belirlenmiş özel örneklem üzerinde
insan sermayesi ve kariyer başarısı arasındaki ilişki ve sosyal sermayenin bu
ilişkideki rolünün ortaya çıkartılması amaçlanmıştır. Borsa İstanbul A.Ş.’de
