What the paper says

Purpose This research examines previous studies on the relationship between social capital and community-based financing (CBF), focusing on the essential role of social capital in enabling an inclusive financial ecosystem. The antecedent, mediator/moderator, outcome (AMO) framework will delineate the functions of these concepts to clarify the positioning of social capital within the empirical model related to CBF. Design/methodology/approach This research employs a rigorous bibliometric–systematic literature review (B–SLR) to examine a range of prior studies dating back to 2024. This study carefully identifies the keywords for extracting data from the dataset. Therefore, three inclusion criteria – suitability to research questions, publication type, and publication quality – were utilised to extract the data. To analyse the data, this review employs both bibliometric analysis, a quantitative approach, and content analysis, a qualitative approach. Findings We identified 120 articles that fulfilled our criteria. Our bibliometric analysis reveals a consistent increase in publications examining the relationship between social capital and CBF from 1995 to 2024. The content analysis revealed a strong correlation between CBF and social capital. We propose a framework for forthcoming social capital and CBF research using the AMO framework. Originality/value This research makes a distinct contribution by systematically examining the role of social capital in CBF through the AMO framework. It offers valuable insights into the impact of social capital on the effectiveness of such financing models. The findings enhance scholarly comprehension and provide actionable recommendations for policymakers and practitioners to strengthen financial inclusion and bolster socio-economic resilience through CBF for local businesses.
