Resumen

El empoderamiento de las personas en la sociedad mediante la sinergia de los componentes del capital social (conciencia, cohesión, confianza y participación) provoca una transformación en esa sociedad. El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar la filosofía y el papel de las cooperativas en el desarrollo del capital social. La población estadística de este estudio fueron las mujeres miembros de los fondos de microcrédito en el municipio de Marvdasht en Irán. Según la información de la base de datos, incluyen 2000 y de este número, se seleccionaron 200 muestras estadísticas según la fórmula de muestreo de Cochran y de forma completamente aleatoria. La principal herramienta de investigación fue un cuestionario. La validez del cuestionario se confirmó mediante las opiniones de profesores universitarios y expertos, y su fiabilidad también se confirmó mediante el coeficiente alfa de Cronbach superior al 80%. Los resultados de la investigación mostraron que el índice de capital social y los componentes de conciencia, confianza, participación, cohesión y redes eran débiles en las mujeres. Los resultados del estudio mostraron que existe una relación positiva y significativa entre el empoderamiento de los miembros de los fondos y el capital social (conciencia, cohesión, confianza, participación y redes). Entre los factores que afectan al capital social, la toma de riesgos con un coeficiente beta de 0.637 ha sido el factor más importante que afecta al desarrollo del capital social de las mujeres miembros de los fondos de crédito. Los resultados de la investigación destacan que la participación de las personas en actividades cooperativas creará una base social para las personas y, a su vez, una identidad y cohesión social para ellas, lo que en última instancia conducirá al empoderamiento de las mujeres rurales.
