The present research aimed to investigate the effect of social capital on teachers' job satisfaction in Yazd. The statistical population of the study comprised teachers in Yazd. The sample size was determined to be 271 using Cochran’s formula. Proportionate stratified sampling method was utilized to draw the sample. The instruments included the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) with internal consistency coefficient of 0.84 and a researcher-made Social Capital Questionnaire with Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.83. The results demonstrated that there was a significant relationship between dimensions of social capital (trust, participation, network quality, norms, and social cohesion) and job satisfaction. Regression analysis showed that social trust and social cohesion accounted for 24 percent of changes in job satisfaction. Hence, when social capital (trust, participation, network, norms, and social cohesion) of the employees increases, they have higher levels of job satisfaction, which will ultimately leads to improved efficiency.
