The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of using social networks in women's empowerment. The present study was a quantitative method that was conducted on the staff of Islamic Azad University, Science and Research Branch of Tehran.Women in the study population have a high level (34.66%) of using social networks. The total correlation and severity of the relationship between the variable of using virtual social networks and the components of empowerment in women was 0.677 and was confirmed at a significance level of 0.05, which indicates a significant relationship. There is a strong link between the use of virtual social networks by women and their empowerment. The use of social networks also improves their empowerment by increasing women's knowledge, reducing their isolation and increasing social participation. The value of correlation coefficient (R) between the variables was 0.797, which indicates a strong relationship between independent and dependent variables. Overall, the research findings indicate that social networks are one of the most effective methods in empowering women in the present age and its effects on creating social change in women can be proven.

This study aims to identify the relationship between social capital (trust, norms and social networks) and organizational entrepreneurship development. In this study the components of Nahapiet and Ghoshal’s social capital theory and Antonich & Hisrich’s theory about organizational entrepreneurship were used. The research method was descriptive correlation and a combination of documentary and field methods. In the field analysis, 372 employees working in Iran Khodro Industrial Group in 2014 participated by filling out a researcher made-questionnaire of social capital (Nehapiet & Ghoshal, 2002) and a researcher-made questionnaire for the seven dimensions of organizational entrepreneurship (Antonich & Hisrich, 2003). Participants were selected and studied using the quota sampling method. Data analysis was done at two levels of descriptive (mean) and expressive (Pearson correlation coefficient, Mean test and binary linear regression). The results showed a direct relationship between social capital and its five dimensions and the rate of organizational entrepreneurship. The results of linear regression test indicated a linear relationship between the two variables of social capital and the rate of organizational entrepreneurship while social capital had the potential of predicting 21 percent of changes in organizational entrepreneurship. Overall, the results showed that organizational entrepreneurship, as a syncretistic construct (technological, managerial and social), is subject to the quality and quantity of social capital and its dimensions.
