Nous estimons que les explications sociologiques proposées dans le cadre du capital social pour expliquer bien-être individuel sont incomplètes car elles ne font pas de distinction entre mécanismes d’influence interpersonnelle et sélection d’une part, processus cognitifs intrapersonnels d’autre part. Dans ce but, trois modèles théoriques l’interaction dynamique la confiance satisfaction au travail servent à élaborer tester empiriquement six hypothèses. Tout d’abord, d’après d’influence, d’un...

Abstract We study a population of first year midshipmen within an elite military academy to explore the relationship between individuals’ sociometric status (e.g., conferrals based on positive interpersonal affect and perceived competence, degradations negative affect) their attempts directly control peers’ behaviour over year's time. Results show that multiple informal hierarchies develop early in organization's life remain remarkably stable. Control are driven by these hierarchies: Lower...

Abstract Choices of plays made by theatergoers can be considered as a 2-mode or affiliation network. In this article we illustrate how p∗ models (an exponential family distributions for random graphs) used to uncover patterns choices. Based on audience research in three theater institutions Ghent (Belgium), analyze the loyalty an institution, diversity composition well more complex local structural patterns. The results seem indicate that audiences are generally loyal institution. However,...

Abstract In governance networks, some actors might have more influence than others in the group's collective decision‐making. This paper investigates whether an actor's prosocial and/or self‐interested motivations to participate a network help predict its level of group. We argue that information exchange is important mediator this relationship because tendency actively diffuse will depend on motivations; while other participants being exposed from actor are likely increase them. Using...

We follow recent shows creating shared values is important for group functioning but seems hindered high diversity - and use longitudinal social network analyses to study two interpersonal value sharing: relations between members or 'social bonding' (network tie formation homophily) sharing potentially through...

An alternative viewpoint posits may prioritize strategies aimed at minimizing transaction costs maximizing returns when selecting their partners. This paper proposes predominantly occurs partners...
