Relational Pluralism Within and Between Organizations
研究了当行动者之间维持多种关系并因此发展多重身份时产生的多元关系现象,探讨其积极与消极特征,并展望未来研究方向。
Relational pluralism exists when actors maintain multiple kinds of relationships with one another and develop multiple identities as a result. The outcomes of relational pluralism can include greater flexibility in building network ties, more stable exchange relationships, and the ability to adopt tailored innovations. We develop a typology of relational pluralism and examine both the positive and negative features of relational pluralism inside and across organizations. We conclude with a discussion of future directions for research.
