Introduction

Social capital is a sociological idea about the value and adequacy of social relations, and the part of participation and trust in accomplishing the planned targets. Social capital is a wellspring of network assets that predicament individuals, join them and empower them to stay up with their targets all the more successfully, as it controls the desire of individuals and welcomes them to help out one another, to take an interest in everyday issues aggregates, in this manner of speaking to the foundation of social relations (Mustafa, 2018).

The social capital that an individual acquire relies upon the size of the organization of connections that he can be overseen effectively, just as on the measure of other capital, for example, cultural, emblematic, and financial capital that others partaking in the organization of connections have (Abd al-Rahman & al-Husayni, 2018).

Social capital is also one of the models qualities of society as it adds to building a sound society and building a developmental personality with all its values, guidelines, and social excellencies that make the personality all the more having a place and participatory. Along these lines, social capital adds to getting sorted out individuals to accomplish an improvement, proficiency, and viability of arranging, development, dynamic, and preparation endeavors (Badrawi & Al-Khafaji, 2015).

The specialist accepts that the idea of social capital alludes to the assets that individuals have, regardless of whether they are quantitative or qualitative assets, which can be utilized in an essential method to acquire benefits and different assets - economic specifically. Hence, social capital speaks to a power that makes and settle in social advantages for staff.

Predictable with the vital significance of the Jordanian private universities and their central goal and the significance of the nations set on them considering what Jordan is encountering from the Covid-19 pandemic, and what the world has been seeing as of late of fast changes and advancements in the monetary, technological, educational, and health fields, and these progressions have not thought about the idea of crafted by private Jordanian universities, Accordingly, it is vital for it to look to contend locally and regionally to protect its scholarly position and notoriety, They won't be capable without receiving regulatory and organizational Innovation, so Innovation and improvement turn into its first concern, to improve its administrations by following and applying imaginative thoughts and strategies in learning and training, needed by the cycle of modernization and improvement to stay up with the requirements and challenges of the occasions.

Literature Review

What is Social Capital?

Social capital is viewed as perhaps the main ideas that researchers and specialists looked to epitomize in a theoretical system through which clear lines can be set fit for gathering the jargon of this idea in a logical structure that eliminates the equivocalness and tangled that encompasses this idea because of the trouble of estimating and recognizing it like other jargon of other social sciences.

The main appearance of the idea of social capital was by (Hanifan, 1816), where he put stock in the perpetual association between the individual and society, as this cycle of correspondence depends on the mutual reliance or influence and be influenced between the individual and society (Beams & Atencie, 2008).

In any case, the advancement of this idea was related with three scholarly researchers who were credited with exhibiting and introducing this idea, to be specific: (Pierre Bourdieu, James Coleman, and Robert Putnam). Furthermore, that what these researchers proposed speaks to a predominant flow in the hypothesis of social capital and simultaneously reflects two sorts of sociological dreams of this idea: "The first is the critical example that reveals social inequality and the current clash in the public arena and this is spoken to by the Bourdieu mentalities, and the second is the integrative functional example that depends on Consistency and adherence to norms spoke to by (Coleman) ( Putnam) and (Jones, 2010).

Bourdieu accepts that social capital alludes to the assets that emerge from connections, these assets lead to inequality between social classes. (Bourdieu) characterizes social capital as "the individual reaching each other deliberately, their investment in open life to fabricate different types of capital or social powers and afterward attempting to utilize them to profit by them (Bold and Allan, 2008: 277).

Also, his translation of social capital, obviously the majority of his advantage was on the effects and advantages brought about by from social capital, yet he demonstrates that this idea exists through the social organization (social structure) and between the individuals from this organization of social connections that help its continuation (Abd Al Azim, 2011).

At the point when, Kolman sees that social capital exists in building connections between at least two individuals, just as inside and outside the family in the public eye. That is, social capital is a social asset that isn't restricted to a specific social class, but instead is delivered equally among citizenry, and his meaning of social capital spotlights on the connections and guidelines between individuals, through the social structures where they are found, however his emphasis was more on Connections (Clopton & Finch, 2010: 379-380).

As per (Putnam) the principle thought of social capital is the value of the social organization, since these organizations advantage the profitability of individuals and gatherings, as individuals help each other without searching for a specific benefit.

(Putnam) expressed that human resources demonstrates social association, for example, trust, rules, and social organizations that emerge among individuals that can improve the limit of society in encouraging composed activities and encouraging agreeable cooperation for the normal premium (Ueshima, 2010).

It is obvious to the scientist that these scholars have clarified that the idea of social capital in a social association has connections, values, standards, and organizations between its individuals.

Notwithstanding, there are numerous meanings of social capital, some of them see that social capital is spoken to by the social associations and foundations that exist in the public arena, while others see that the connections exist between individuals in the public eye in general, and in social establishments specifically (Ozigi, 2018).

Though, the specialist accepts that social capital is "social associations whose individuals have social connections and collaborations, joined by regular guidelines, values, and goals that they try to accomplish through the presence of trust, trade, and participation among them.

Organizational Innovation

Innovation is viewed as quite possibly the main things that all associations look for, especially those confronting a changing serious climate, as the significance of innovation has expanded considering the expansion in rivalry among associations and the requirement for this association to advance to evade the danger of a plunge and vanishing (Sakarneh, 2011) (Areiqat, and Zamil, 2019).

Innovation is characterized as a kind of conduct that is unique, unforeseen, and proper to the circumstance, at the end of the day, it is an imaginative mental cycle that prompts the creation of new and unfamiliar thoughts by the individual or a gathering of individuals who cooperate (Kamal, 2013).

Concerning organizational innovation, it was characterized as making and putting resources into groundbreaking thoughts.

(Gupta, 2018) alluded to it as "embracing the cycle of progress in the association and the general climate".

It is important that organizational innovation should be founded on the individual's qualification in seeing issues and tackling them, on his mental limit, intellectual familiarity, and information that can be created with the accessibility of the suitable atmosphere, successful cognizant authority, and intelligent working connections that build up the capacity to get to groundbreaking thoughts and arrangements in the soul of danger inventively. (Muhammad, 2012).

Normally, the conditions that make the requirement for innovation are forced by the challenges and technological changes by the rise of a superior strategy for work, which makes it obliges for rational associations (Jordanian universities) to screen their current circumstance to estimate new earnest requests in the educational cycle, and save to confront them, This is known as coordinated innovation, which incorporates the proposed examination and examinations of changes, and logical analysis of the imagination openings that could result from these changes (Azzouz, 2014; Areiqat, Hamdan, Zamil, Horani & Al-Khoury, 2020).

Accordingly, this paragraph is viewed as a statistical capacity. Like the remainder of the paragraphs of this field.

Also, it tends to be seen from Table (5) (the dimension of variability) that the value of T-test came to (t=15.87), and the value of the calculated test importance came to (Sig=0.000), which is a critical value demonstrating that there is a clear response to the dimension of variability in Al-Ahliyya Amman University, and the general load of the total field was equal to (81.2%), which shows that the capacity to change in the university accompanied a serious level. Obviously the most elevated section is Paragraph No. (13), which accommodated (The university organization energizes innovation and activities that add to the cycle of change) and acquired approval to an enormous degree with a general load of (85.8%) and a degree of essentialness under (0.05). Accordingly, this section is viewed as a statistical capacity, like the remainder of the paragraphs of this field.

Analysis of Study Questions and Theory Testing

The Main Question

What is the part of social capital in its dimensions (consolidated) in accomplishing organizational innovation at Al-Ahliyya Amman University?

From this question, the accompanying theory is detailed: -

There is no statistically critical role at level (α=0.05) for social capital in its dimensions (combined) in achieving organizational innovation at Al-Ahliyya Amman University. To test this theory, numerous straight relapse analysis was utilized. (Al Zahrani, Zamil, Areiqat & Alsalhi, 2012).

Table (6) shows that social capital in its dimensions (combined) has an unmistakable and positive part in accomplishing organizational innovation, and it very well may be seen from the above table that the logical intensity of the model for the two factors is (47.6%), and it shows the level of what the autonomous factors disclose to the principal and auxiliary of the fluctuation acquired In the reliant variable organizational innovation.(Alheet, Areiqat, Zamil & Saleh, 2020).

The self-connection test (D. Watson) demonstrated that its value was (1.69) and that the value of (F) for social capital with its combined came to (F=74.65). This demonstrates the noteworthiness of the entire model. The fixed (dependent) variable and the free variables are not exactly the degree of huge centrality (0.05). This implies that there is a role and effect on the reliant variable brought about by social capital, and accordingly we reject the invalid theory and acknowledge the alternative speculation, (Areiqat, Zamil, F Ahmad & Abushaar, 2020). Which expresses that there is a statistically critical part for social capital in its dimensions (consolidated) in accomplishing organizational innovation at Al-Ahliyya Amman University, and this outcome is identical. With the investigation of (Ben, 2019; Guoyang, et al., 2019; Areiqat, 2019; Areiqat & Jaradat, 2012)

Table (7) shows the presence of a statistically critical effect connection between the internal relations of university workers and the accomplishment of organizational innovation in it, where the value of Chi-square (23.79) and statistical criticalness (0.000), which is smaller than the degree of hugeness in the speculation (0.05). Consequently, we reject the invalid theory and acknowledge the alternative speculation, that is, there is a connection between the internal connections in the university and the accomplishment of organizational innovation in it, and this outcome converges with the examination (Cristina, et al., 2017; Areiqat et al, 2018).

`As can be seen from table (8) there is a statistically critical effect connection between the university's external relations, its laborers, and external offices, where the value of the chi-square was (27.18) and in statistical terms (0.000), which is smaller than the degree of hugeness in the theory (0.05). (Areiqat et al, 2019) In this manner, we reject the invalid speculation and acknowledge the alternative theory, for example there is an external relationship for the university and its laborers with external gatherings in accomplishing organizational innovation, and this outcome meets with the investigation (Sang and Silvana, 2018) (Areiqat et al, 2020).

Results

1. It is obvious from the examination that most of the sample are males, with a level of over (61%), and that most of the laborers in the investigated university are youngsters whose ages are between (35 to 45 years) and that over (62%) of the sample individuals have university certificates graduate (Masters and Ph.D.) and the majority of them hold a higher scholastic position between associate professor and full professor (See table #2).

2. The examination indicated that the dimensions of social capital (combined) have accomplished various levels at Al-Ahliyya Amman University, as follows

• The field of internal relations between university workers and each other accomplished a high reaction rating (4.02) and a relative weight (80.4%). This shows the degree of Al-Ahliyya Amman University's astuteness to give a decent relationship that is overwhelmed by altruism and mutual regard. This outcome bolsters by (Alireza, et al., 2020), and (Blessed messenger, et al., 2018) (See table #3).

• Where the field of external relations of the university and its laborers with external parties locally and regionally accomplished a high reaction score (3.97) with an overall load of roughly (80%), and this demonstrates the university organization's perception to merge the external relations interface with it and between partners from government offices or local, regional, and even global universities. This outcome underpins by (Lyndon, et al., 2018), and (Minisha, 2018) (See table #4).

• Organizational innovations accomplished a serious level of the investigation sample adding up to (4.08) with an overall load of over (81%), which implies that the examination sample individuals are quick to accomplish organizational innovation at Al-Ahliyya Amman University. This outcome underpins by (Cristina, et al., 2017), and (Sang and Silvana, 2018) (See table #5).

3. The examination found a statistically critical role for the internal connections between laborers in accomplishing organizational innovation for the university, as the value of the Pearson relationship coefficient (R) for this relationship was over (71%) and with a value of (0.000) not exactly the huge (0.05) (See table #6).

4. The examination presumed that there is a statistically huge part for the university's external relations and its representatives with external parties, as the value of the Pearson connection coefficient was over (69%) and with a value of (0.000), not exactly the statistical hugeness (0.05) (See table #6).

Recommendations

As Per the Ends and Discoveries of this Investigation, I have Finished Up the Accompanying Suggestions

1. The university thinks about a significant social structure in the upbringing and improvement of the individual. Accordingly, the analyst proposes the need of zeroing in instruction educational plans on building up the values of social capital for helpful work, chipping in and acknowledgment of others.

2. That the internal relations between laborers to be founded on strategies for training equipped for building up an age that has the substance and values of social capital.

3. Zeroing in on building up a culture of collaboration and helpful commitment as it attempts to set up the trust in the public arena and spread powerful values to lessen ethnic clashes.

4. Attempting to expand interest in social capital by holding instructional classes to characterize what social capital is to accomplish organizational innovation at the university.

5. Expanding attention to the significance of social capital, specifically as to external relations, by allocating financial plans to give occasions to logical and social gatherings between laborers in Jordanian universities to trade encounters, information, and fortify relations.

6. Calling the university organization to chip away at improving the workplace at the university and advancing the way of life of innovation and initiative, and checking it inside the guiding principle of the university.

7. Expanding consciousness of the significance of representative interest in the humanitarian effort and association with altruistic social orders and public social clubs, and receiving them as a feature of the annual evaluation newspaper.

8. The investigation suggests more examinations and exploration on social capital and its job in other ward factors that were not thought about by this examination.
