As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that the attitudes of senior managers in Türkiye, the general level of trust similar to the general structure in Türkiye, and the rate of civic participation are low. In this respect, in the context of weak and strong ties, which is the first type of social capital, it is seen that senior managers in Türkiye have weak and strong ties at a low level.
