Collective Action and Social Capital in Cooperative Institutions

This study aims to describe collective action and social capital in cooperative institutions in maintaining their existence and as one of the drivers of the community's economy. The challenges for cooperatives in the future will be even more severe amid the large number of banks that have started to enter the countryside, especially in Bali. The method in this study uses library studies from several sources, both books and results from previous studies. The results show that the consistency of collective action taken by cooperative members really needs to be maintained because when this type of thing starts to fade, there will be cracks that occur within the cooperative itself which causes the existence of the cooperative to begin to fade. Besides that, the cooperative management entrusted by all cooperative members must have high social capital to express the programs made and foster member trust in cooperatives so that members will not switch to banks and prefer cooperatives.
