we used social capital component at different place as constructs. Generally, social capital always jointly together as indicators as reflective construct of social capital.
I do not see a reason why you cannot. Just be sure to see how the 'indicators' which I am assuming as multiple dimensions of the social capital construct are conceptualized - are they formative? or are they reflective? My guess is that they would be of the formative type. Accordingly set-up this construct/s in your overall model, and run it. Assessment and analysis will vary depending on the way the constructs was modeled.
thank you Mr.Rajan. we start to believe that social capital indicator can be used as a construct in SEM PLS modeling.
There are several references that use social capital with PLS-SEM modeling, take look please at some example here:
