Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to assess the relations between social trust and entrepreneurial attitudes. In order to precisely describe the links between the examined variables, both individual dimensions of trust and general social trust, including vertical and private trust, have been explored. The research results point to statistically significant links between social trust and entrepreneurial attitudes. As it turns out, it is faith and confidence in other people’s trustworthy behavior that sparks human creativity and tendencies to reach the desired goals. The analyses presented here are empirically based on data collected during the “Human and Social Capital as Factors in the Development of the Lodz Region” project conducted as part of the „Human Capital. National Cohesion Strategy” EU program.
