Abstract
Başta ekonomi bilimi olmak üzere birçok bilim bireylerin ve toplumum
mutlu yaşam sürmelerini hedeflemektedir. Birçok çalışmada yaşam memnuniyeti,
demografik, genetik, psikolojik ve ekonomik değişkenlerle ölçülmeye çalışılmış
ama sosyal sermaye pek dikkate alınmamıştır. Bu çalışmada, sosyal sermaye ile
yaşam memnuniyeti arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir. Tesadüfî Örnekleme Yöntemine göre yapılan hesaplamalar sonucunda anket
sayısı 324 olarak belirlenmiştir. Erzurum kent merkezi dışındaki ilçe ve
köylerde yapılan anketlerden elde edilen veriler kullanılmıştır. Yapısal
Eşitlik Modelinin kullanıldığı çalışmada elde edilen bulgular yaşam memnuniyeti
ile sosyal sermaye arasında pozitif yönlü bir etkileşimin olduğunu
göstermektedir. İlişkisel Sosyal Sermaye (0,65), Bilişsel Sosyal Sermaye (0,62)
ve Yapısal Sosyal Sermaye (0,31) orta
derecede pozitif yönde yaşam memnuniyetini etkilemektedir.

Abstract
Many fields of science, the economy being first, aim to ensure that the individuals and the society lead a happy and satisfactory life. Many studies attempted to measure the life satisfaction by the means of demographical, genetic, psychological and economic variables; however, the social capital has been largely overlooked in this manner. This study discusses the relationship between social capital and life satisfaction. In the study, in which the structural equation model was employed, the findings suggest that there is a positive relationship between life satisfaction and social capital. The associational social capital (0.65), Cognitive social capital (0.62) and the structural social capital (0.31) have an intermediate level effect on life satisfaction in a positive direction.
