O capital social no terceiro setor: um estudo de caso de uma organização da sociedade civil na cidade de Aquiraz

Abstract

This work intends to analyse the social capital formed and accumulated in a third sector institution. As a result, was made a case study in which it was investigated, in materials provided by the NGO and an unstructured interview was made to the administrative coordinator, the formation of the social capital produced and how it works in this organization. As evidenced in the literature, social capital has a relevant role, since the interactions between agents can improve productivity and income, promoting a series of benefits to the economy. Therefore, we sought to bring several views on the understanding of social capital, in addition to explanations about the third sector and its importance for society. Therefore, it was identified through this research that OSC ITEVA, through governance strategies focused on maintaining alliances with the State, companies and municipalities, combining good management with transparency and responsibility, can be strengthened as an entity that effectively collaborates with all sectors of the economy and can increase the number of people benefited by its projects.
