Abstract: The significance of social capital and its role in the domain of information systems is ostensive from the extensive application of this concept in ICT (Information and Communication Technology)-related research. Despite overwhelming research to support social capital theory’s central predictions, evidence exists for deviations from these predictions. Therefore, the relationship between ICT and social capital often appears largely to be an ambivalent one. By adopting a systematic review approach, the current study attempts to present a suitable explanation for the varied effectiveness of social capital in ICT intervention.
