Nonrespondents in Communication Network Studies
探讨组织沟通社会计量研究中无应答者带来的问题，分析包含无应答者的网络的方法，并通过实证研究提供选择分析方法的决策标准，为设计沟通网络研究以提高应答率提供建议。
This article explores problems caused by nonrespondents in sociometric studies of organizational communication and describes how networks that include nonrespondents can be analyzed. An illustrative example is used to conceptualize the problems and issues in analyzing such networks. An empirical study is described that operationalizes the decision criteria for choosing a method of analysis. Suggestions are offered for the design of communication network studies that may enhance response rates and provide the information needed to justify how incomplete network data sets may be analyzed.
