Explaining small-retailer patronage through Social Capital Theory
International Journal of Retail and Distribution Management, 2017Co-Authors: Hélène Yildiz, Sandrine Heitz-spahn, Lydie BelaudAbstract:The purpose of this paper is to understand why people shop at small retailers in their community. The authors investigate the influence of consumers’ civic commitment, measured at behavioural and perceptual levels, on small-retailer patronage (SRP). Design/methodology/approach: Data from 984 respondents represent four French cities that host common town-centre shopping streets and large out-of-town retail parks. A structural equation model applied to the theoretical framework tests the relationships between civic behavioural commitment (CBC), civic perceptual commitment (CPC) and declared SRP. Findings: The more an individual consumer exhibits civic behavioural commitment (CBC) to his/her community, the greater his/her small-retailer patronage (SRP). Furthermore, consumers who express strong civic perceptual commitment (CPC) prefer to patronise small retailers. Results show that CPC has a stronger impact on SRP than CBC does. Practical implications: If the CPC has stronger effects on SRP than CBC does, town managers can catch people’s attention by communicating civic commitment to enhance CPC. Solidarity could be developed through large-scale Social projects to send a strong signal to consumers regarding retailers’ commitment in the community. Finally, the study highlights the role businesses, retailers and consumers play in building communities. Partnerships across all local stakeholders should be built. Originality/value: This paper is the first to define civic behavioural commitment within consumers’ life place based on Social Capital Theory. Moreover, it offers a new framework for understanding perception of commitment within a community, and its impact on SRP. This measurement scale allows more efficient capturing of civic commitment to communities.

five dimensions of Social Capital Theory as they pertain to youth studies
Journal of Youth Studies, 2007Co-Authors: Cherylynn BassaniAbstract:Social Capital Theory has developed over the past two decades and has become increasingly popular among youth studies scholars, as well as among policy and program researchers. Despite its wide usage, the Theory's utility is limited and largely unknown because researchers typically only test one of the Theory's core dimensions: whether Social Capital influences youths’ well-being. This paper examines the five main dimensions of Social Capital Theory that have been discussed in a fragmented manner throughout the youth studies literature in an attempt to aid researchers in their conceptualization and operationalization of Social Capital and their testing of Theory.

A TEST OF Social Capital Theory OUTSIDE OF THE AMERICAN CONTEXT: FAMILY AND SCHOOL Social Capital AND YOUTHS MATH SCORES IN CANADA, JAPAN, AND THE UNITED STATES
International Journal of Educational Research, 2006Co-Authors: Cherylynn BassaniAbstract:Abstract Within the area of youth studies, Social Capital Theory (SCT) has been widely used to explain achievement disparities. Although this Theory has gained popularity, few researchers have tested it outside of the US context. This paper tests one dimension of SCT: that Social Capital has a positive effect on young people's academic achievement within three randomly drawn samples of 15-year-olds in Canada, Japan, and the United States. By doing this, I examine the Theory's utility for explaining disparities in youths’ academic achievement outside of the US context. This is particularly important because the Theory has gained widespread acceptance in youth studies and amongst policy researchers, even though it has not been tested using a variety of data sets. If supported, all of the measures of Social Capital will have a positive influence on achievement levels in each of the three data sets.
