THE STRENGTH OF STRONG TIES: SOCIAL NETWORKS AND INTERGROUP CONFLICT IN ORGANIZATIONS.
研究了20个组织单元中社会网络与冲突的关系，发现低冲突组织比高冲突组织拥有更多群体间的强关系（频繁接触），且两者的社会网络结构差异显著。
The relationship between social networks and conflict in 20 organizational units was investigated. Results indicated that low-conflict organizations are characterized by higher numbers of intergroup strong ties, measured as frequent contacts, than are high-conflict organizations. Further, comparison of the network configuration of the organizations studied suggested that high- and low-conflict organizations feature significantly different sociometric structures.
