Abstract

This study was conducted to verify the relationship between organizational cultural types, social capital and organizational effectiveness in South Korean dental clinics. The findings suggest that consensual culture is the best fit with social capital. Also, high level of organizational identification, trust and cohesiveness increases job satisfaction and lowers turnover intention. If applying the results practically, organizational identification, improvement of welfare system, stress control, and coaching program for personal development are the most optimal solution.
