A Sociocognitive Network Approach to Organizational Analysis
提出一种社会认知网络方法,通过量化组织参考框架的内容差异,并与标准社会计量数据结合,构建衡量参与者社会认知连接性的网络矩阵,用于识别和监测组织创新与变革的障碍。
Following the lead of other contributors to cognitive organizational theory, this paper offers a sociocognitive network methodology that represents a sharp departure from traditional approaches to organizational analysis. After outlining the contours of a sociocognitive perspective of organizational dynamics, we present a highly flexible, but reproducible methodology that allows us to uncover and quantify differences in the content of organizational reference frames. We then demonstrate how the resulting indices of cognitive content may be merged with standard sociometric data, creating a network matrix that measures the sociocognitive connectedness of an organization's participants and enables us to identify and monitor barriers to organizational innovation and change.
