Summary/Abstract: The article examines the level of social capital of the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship. The analysis included such items as: trust, responsibility for the common good, the tendency to association, declared social activity, and participation in elections authorities. As a basis of the examination there was used the questionnaire conducted among residents of the Świętokrzyskie region at the end of 2014. Diagnosed level of social capital is not optimistic – surveyed people are characterized by a low level of general trust, limited involvement in initiatives for the common good and little interest in the activity of public organizations. Such attitudes and behaviors likely will negatively affect the prospects of the development of the regional development based on knowledge, will slow down the social progress, and consequently will make it more difficult to increase the well-being of the inhabitants of the Świętokrzyskie region.
