To examine the association between workplace social capital and all-cause mortality in a large occupational cohort from Finland. Responses of 28,043 participants to surveys in 2000–2002 and 2004 were linked to national mortality registers through 2009. We used repeated measurements of self-assessed and co-workers' assessed workplace social capital. Cox proportional hazard and fixed effects logistic regressions were conducted. 196 employees died during the 5-year follow-up period. A one unit increase in the mean of repeat measurements of self-assessed workplace social capital (range 1–5) was associated with a 19% decrease in the risk of all-cause mortality [age- and sex-adjusted HR=0.81; 95% CI 0.66–0.99]. The corresponding point estimate for the mean of co-workers' assessed social capital was similar, although the association was more imprecisely estimated [age- and sex-adjusted HR=0.77; 95% CI 0.50–1.20]. In fixed-effects analysis, a one unit increase in self-assessed social capital across the two time points was associated with a lower mortality risk (OR=0.81, 95% CI 0.55–1.19). These findings suggest that workplace social capital is associated with decreased risk of mortality in the working-age population.
