States of Connectivity: New Questions and New Directions
反思了“持续连接”的常见假设，指出连接具有时间间歇性和行为主体能动性，因此很少真正持续。文章回顾了低连接、高连接、必要连接和最优连接（心流）等状态，强调理解连接状态对组织资源管理及未来研究至关重要。
A recent article in Organization Studies used in its title the term ‘constant connectivity’. Though we commonly think of connectivity as ‘constant’, temporal intermittency and actor agency make connectivity seldom, if ever, constant. Reflecting on studies of connectivity highlights the growing importance of recognizing and defining ‘states’ of connectivity. Several states of connectivity are reviewed, namely: hypo-connectivity, hyper-connectivity, requisite and optimal connectivity (‘flow’). As an organizational resource, understanding various states of connectivity is critical to future research. More empirical work is needed to determine how the volume of connectivity makes a difference to performance and other outcomes.
