| dc.description.abstract | This paper addresses the question how network properties explain intra-organisational outcomes at work. Following the idea of Burt concerning the benefits of structural holes, we explore on the one hand the impact of structural holes on influence on decisions and career success in a knowledge intensive firm. Considering the specific characteristics of knowledge intensive firms, we incorporate the importance of tie strength and professional closeness in our analysis of organizational outcomes. On the other hand we conceptualize the benefits of the network structure as goal specific. We assume that network properties instrumental for enhancing influence are different of those for enhancing job satisfaction. Structural holes give access to information but anatomize work relations such that job satisfaction will be reduced. Data were collected using online questionnaires in a Swiss service firm. The ego-networks of 288 managers of the headquarter – using eight name-generating questions – were analyzed. Two effects stand out: First, structural holes, strong ties and professional closeness do enhance influence and career success. Second, professional closeness result in general job satisfaction and satisfaction regarding collaboration. However, the negative impact of structural holes on satisfaction with collaboration could not been shown, even though their positive effect disappeared. | de_CH |
