Summary:The study constructs a conceptual framework elucidating the intricate dynamics between organizational social capital, organizational justice, employee wellbeing and organizational performance. It positions organizational justice as an exogenous variable influencing social capital, which in turn impacts the wellbeing of employees, thereby shaping organizational performance. A thorough review of literature on organizational social capital and its impact on performance identifies a significant research gap. The study posits that organizational justice initiates and influences social capital, subsequently affecting employee wellbeing, which in a cascading effect contributes to organizational performance. The study not only explores the interrelatedness of various dimensions of social capital but also expands the scope of organizational social capital research. By establishing a direct relationship with firm performance, the study extends beyond the individual level, providing valuable insights into how social capital influences the overall effectiveness and success of an organization.
