The Conceptual Link of Social Security and Social Capital in the Context of Participation and Healthy Public Supervision

Today, societies make many efforts in line with their development in order to create and improve the quality of human life, and paying attention to some social concepts is one of the most important measures. In this regard, the main goal of the current research is to examine and explain the conceptual link between social security and social capital in the context of healthy public participation and supervision.

The current research is of a development type that examines the issue using a mixed method. The approach used in this method is a sequential relative approach with unequal weight, which is done in three stages: qualitative-qualitative-quantitative. In this research, three methods of "one-to-one interview - grounded theory - survey" have been used to investigate and explain the issue. The participants of the first stage (one-to-one interview) and the second stage (grounded theory) were identified from among the experts using the purposeful sampling method, and through a semi-structured interview, the information and data related to the order reached theoretical saturation in 6 and 15 people, respectively. The main tool of data collection in the quantitative phase was the questionnaire, which was used by systematic sampling, 25 people answered the questions and the results were analyzed using mean and standard deviation analysis in SPSS software.

The findings of the research show that causal factors and conditions are the main causes of the conceptual link of social security and social capital in the context of healthy public participation and supervision, which, by referring to background factors such as individual and educational factors, social and family factors, cultural and ideological factors, managerial and structural factors, institutional and governmental factors can be effective in creating social security and sustainable social capital. In the quantitative phase, the responding experts confirmed all dimensions and components.

According to the results, we can point out the overlapping role and nature of social capital, social security, participation and healthy public supervision, which play a role as inseparable values of society. The conceptual link of social security and social capital in the framework of healthy public participation and supervision leads to mutual interaction, public trust, healthy public participation, and public supervision as important components for legitimizing the society and creating the well-being and comfort of citizens, and in the shadow of this conceptual link society can achieve sustainable social capital.
