“…Second, effect sizes in this context were low, but this is to be somewhat expected as we are looking at the role of expressive dimensions of networks as opposed to instrumental ties that have been shown to matter for performance in prior network research (e.g., Sparrowe et al, 2001;Cross & Cummings, 2004) 9 . While research has extensively documented the positive ways in which relationships at work contribute to performance and well-being, our study is an important step in understanding the association between negative relationships and performance.…”

In this paper, we establish the relationship between de-energizing relationships and individual performance in organizations. To date, the emphasis in social network research has largely been on positive dimensions of relationships despite literature from social psychology revealing the prevalence and detrimental impact of de-energizing relationships. In two field studies, we show that de-energizing relationships in organizations are associated with decreased performance. In Study 1, we investigate how de-energizing relationships are related to lower performance using data from 161 people in the information technology (IT) department of an engineering firm. In Study 2, in a sample of 439 management consultants, we consider whether the effects of deenergizing relationships on performance may be moderated by the extent to which an individual has the psychological resource of thriving at work. We find that individuals who are thriving at work are less susceptible to the effects of de-energizing relationships on job performance. We close by discussing implications of this research.

“…Nesse estudo, eles mostram que se os primeiros a adotar a nova tecnologia (early adopters) são periféricos, isso levará a uma mudança na estrutura da rede. Em uma escala menor, Sparrowe et al (2001) mostram que as equipes com alta centralização geralmente alcançam um desempenho inferior às redes menos centralizadas -apenas as equipes responsáveis por tarefas muito simples se beneficiam da centralização. Hansen (1999) mostra que as empresas com maior acoplamento ("tight coupling"), têm menores chances de gerar inovações ao ritmo das mudanças no ambiente.…”

ResumoA partir da Teoria das Convenções, elaborada por Boltaski e Thevenot, apresentaremos a "ordem de projetos" elaborada por Boltanski e Chiapello e a utilizaremos como parâmetro para a apreciação dos principais estudos de redes sociais intraorganizacionais. A partir da obra "O Novo Espírito do Capitalismo", recuperaremos as principais características da Ordem dos Projetos. Evidenciamos como a construção teórica da Ordem dos Projetos se baseia em uma apropriação normativa dos estudos clássicos de análise de redes sociais, com destaque a Burt e Granovetter. Argumentamos que os trabalhos empíricos de análise de redes intraorganizacionais podem ser lidos como "testes" à ideia de "conexionsimo". Em primeiro lugar, servem como confirmação da tendência do capitalismo contemporâneo em tornar-se conectado. Em segundo lugar, fornecem subsídios aos gestores e formadores de políticas públicas para a mudança do desenho das organizações que favoreçam redes mais abertas. Em terceiro lugar, permitem verificar como a Ordem dos Projetos se relaciona com outras Ordens. Essas relações podem ser conceituais e lógicas, assim como empiricamente negociadas. Concluímos esse artigo com implicações para os estudos de redes intraorganizacionais e também para o modelo proposto por Boltanski e Chiapello. present the "project order" developed by Boltanski and Chiapello and use it as a parameter to assess the primary studies of intra-organizational social networks. I recover from the book "The New Spirit of Capitalism," the Order of Projects' main features. I show how the theoretical construction of the project order is based on a normative appropriation of social network analysis classic studies, especially those of Burt and Granovetter. I argue that the empirical work of intra-organizational networks analysis can be read as "testing" the idea of "connectionism." First, it functions as a way of empirically confirming whether contemporary capitalism is becoming increasingly connected. Second, it provides inputs to managers and policy-makers to adapt the design of organizations in order to favor more open networks. Third, it allows examining how the Order of Projects relates to other orders. These relationships can be conceptual and logical, as well as empirically negotiated. I conclude this article Palavras-chave:

Research activity is a major part of academic degree education for postgraduate student in China. A long line of research has examined the influence of social networks on individuals' behavior. This paper presents evidence on students' independent research behavior in searching for new knowledge, as embodied in the friendship tie among first-year graduate students. We describe the structure of the friendship network as a whole and present evidence on the determinants of social ties. Finally, we examine evidence on the extent to which individual graduate student becomes a broker integrated into a friendship network significantly influence a student's research potential.
