Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we evaluated the changes of the levels of workplace social capital before and after an athletic event held in a company. We had no control group, and then we employed natural-experiment design. We could not observe clear increase of social capital probably due to ceiling effect. We also discussed about data harmonization with counterparts in Finland (Finnish Public Sector; FPS cohort).
