"Entrepreneurship" in sociologists' view is a process located in a variable network of social relations. There social relations can limit or facilitate the relationship of entrepreneurship and resources and opportunities. As yet, researches that have been conducted concerning organizational entrepreneurs attempted to determine personal characteristics of entrepreneurs and they have ignored social relations or social capital. The main goal of this research is to investigate the relationship between social capital and organizational entrepreneurship. Statistical population of this research is consisted of all of the staff and teachers of colleges in 1391, 214 of which have been selected by class sampling according to Morgan Table. This research is conducted in descriptive, correlational manner, and in order to prove its justifiability and stability the standard and global questionnaire of social capital with 60 items of Likert range and researcher-made questionnaire of organizational entrepreneurship, that its justifiability and stability is proved and applied several times, are used and for data analyzing proportional to the research hypotheses the Pearson correlation coefficient is used. The results indicated that there is a positive relationship between social capital and organizational entrepreneurship with a certainty level of 95% of the main confirmed hypothesis, i.e. there is a positive relationship between social capital and its components (partnership, coherence, honesty, mutual relations, being valuable, trust, responsibility and commitment) and organizational entrepreneurship.
