Introduction/background: Social capital supports the flow of knowledge and information that are necessary for the creation of innovations in enterprises. Acceptance of the assumption that social capital has an impact on the creation of innovations had an influence on the formulation of the aim of the research. Aim of the paper: The aim of the paper is identification of the relations between the organizational resources of social capital and innovative activities in enterprises. Materials and methods: The assumed goal was executed thanks to the application of the survey method with the questionnaire technique. The research tool was a standardized survey questionnaire conducted by means of the CATI and CAWI techniques. Results and conclusions: As a result of research, statistically significant dependencies between the resources of social capital and innovative activity were noted. Firstly, the resources of cooperation and values exert the greatest positive impact on cooperation with universities and research institutions in research projects that were conducted jointly, while also on the process of creating innovations and implementing innovative projects in enterprises. Secondly, the principles of cooperation, solidarity and values support the activities of managers aimed at stimulating the innovative attitudes of employees. Thirdly, the principles of cooperation, loyalty and solidarity have a positive impact on the creation of the optimal conditions for the formation and implementation of innovative projects.
