Purpose: The purpose of the work is diagnosis and assessment the state of the internal social capital of enterprises in Poland and the differences between companies with different characteristics. The aim of the study is also to indicate the relationship between an organisation's social capital level and its activities' effects. Design/methodology/approach: The paper presents the results of own study conducted on a sample of 650 micro, small, medium and large companies in Poland. The model presented by Westlund and Nilsson (2005) was used in the analysis, various dimensions of this capital (structural, relational and cognitive) were also explored. Descriptive statistics, non-parametric testing methods (Chi2 independence test) and classification methods using the CHAID method were used. Findings: Results suggest that about ¾ of companies showed the presence of positive phenomena in the social capital field. However, there are statistically significant differences between companies of different sizes, age, status (headquarters, branch, independent organisation), and the origin of capital (domestic, foreign, mixed). The research also shows that companies perceive the relationship of internal social capital with the company's development and relations with their partners.(original abstract)
