Improvements  in performance in these six District  Assemblies were defined by increases in District  Assembly Common Fund expenditures. Greater  collective memory among members within a District  Assembly was defined as decreases in the percentage  of members believing that corruption was present or  increases in the percentage of members believing  that social capital was present in other District Assemblies. Greater social capital was defined as  increases in the percentage of members reporting  working with other members and perceiving that  relationship as equal and trusting. Significant  positive correlations were observed between  collective memory and social capital but these  correlations were not consistent with performance.  Rather, performance was either poor for all District  Assemblies or increased as social capital and  collective memory declined. This study may be useful  for those examining how social capital\/networks  between individuals within a particular institution  and its performance are related.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838355412\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLevels of social capital and performance for six District Assemblies from the Western region of  Ghana (March-May 2007)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838355412","offer_id":39498959749213,"sku":"9783838355412","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/77631057-0c5e-4a26-ba9c-5427c08dea9b.jpg?v=1775623502","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/government-institutional-performance-and-social-capital-in-ghana-von-david-wand","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
