Social Network Research in Organizational Contexts
梳理组织情境中社交网络研究的庞杂文献，提出一个四分类框架，帮助学者选择理论、构念、测量、研究设计和分析策略，并给出未来研究方向。
A large body of research has examined social networks in organizational contexts. While this work has enhanced scholars’ understanding of the antecedents and consequences of networks, missing from this literature is a comprehensive framework that simplifies and clarifies this complex body of work. In response, the authors develop a framework that classifies network research into four major categories, with the purpose of guiding scholars’ choices among the various theories, constructs, measures, research designs, and analytic strategies inherent in the social network literature. The authors also provide recommendations for future work aimed at advancing the state of network research in organizational contexts.
