Individuals differ in the accuracy of their perceptions of the social environment, but research and theory provide conflicting predictions on whether those with power are more or less accurate than others. Drawing on social network theory and the situated focus theory of power, we examine the relationship between individuals’ formal power and their...
We argue and find that negative ties are not always liabilities to workplace performance. Instead, negative ties can be beneficial depending on how socially distant they are from the person (i.e., whether they are direct or indirect negative ties), and how those ties are embedded with other ties. Results from a field study at a large life sciences...
This paper examines the extent to which gender roles influence the types of relationships entrepreneurs enter with other actors in an ecosystem. We draw on role-congruity theory (Eagly & Karau, 2002) to suggest that because of the perceived incongruity between female gender roles and entrepreneurship as a profession, stakeholders are less likely to...
The concept of entrepreneurial ecosystems (EE) has emerged to help understand the context for entrepreneurship in particular territories (countries, regions, cities). The entrepreneurial ecosystem comprises a set of interdependent actors and factors that are governed in such a way that they enable productive entrepreneurship (Stam 2015). Studies of...
The New American Entrepreneur Program was conducted by the Challey Institute for Global Innovation and Growth at North Dakota State University in partnership with Fargo’s Emerging Prairie. Ten entrepreneurs were invited to participate in the program. The program was described as a “six-month program aimed to accelerate their growth in the Fargo-Moo...
The upheaval created by a merger can precipitate voluntary employee turnover, causing merging organizations to lose valuable knowledge-based resources and competencies precisely when they are needed most to achieve the merger's integration goals. While prior research has shown that employees' connections to coworkers reduce their likelihood of leav...
We examine the affective content of ties and explore whether negative affective tie content is systematically advantaged or disadvantaged when recalling the social network as compared to positive affective tie content. We test this in three workgroups from two organizations and analyze differences in perceptual accuracy comparing negative and posit...
The purpose of this study is to examine participants’ social network evolution (how individual’s social relationships change over time) during the NAE program and how these network changes
aided their pursuit of entrepreneurial ventures. In addition, the study will examine the efficacy of the program to help individual goal achievement in the area...
In this paper, we use Cultural Consensus as a theory and methodology and collect and analyze individuals' mental models of entrepreneurship. This novel approach, combined with social network analysis, allows us to empirically study the shared cultural beliefs present within a nascent EE. Based on this case, we determine that, in contrast to mature...
Faith, we will argue, is fundamental to human motivations, and can be understood as a vital part of the human experience. We discuss faith in relation to and as separate from close constructs, such as trust and belief, and explain faith as outside of (but potentially informed by) religious notions. Finally, we will provide a model of faith in the c...
There has been growing interest in the study of negative tie networks, but little systematic analysis has been forthcoming related to the perceptions of negative ties. The majority of research on network perceptions has focused on positive tie networks, leaving unanswered questions about differences between positive and negative tie cognitive socia...
The goal of this essay is to argue that faith is a psycho-social construct, and is an important central organizing force of organizations, relating to sources of community, power, and ultimate concerns (e.g., goals) (Emmons, 2003). We discuss faith in relation to and as separate from close constructs, such as trust and belief, and explain faith as...
Recent scholarship finds that informal relationships that convey information such as
work-related advice and knowledge are critical paths that supplement the formallyprescribed
relationships and knowledge flows in organizations. Most studies treat
these informal relationships as neutral channels or pipes conveying information
throughout the organiz...
The concept of entrepreneurial ecosystems has become a central topic in entrepreneurship research. While research has highlighted a number of contextual factors that promote entrepreneurial activity within an area, this paper explores the individuals within these social systems. We question whether actors within a successful entrepreneurial ecosyst...
This is a graphical representation of the consensus mental model of entrepreneurship in an entrepreneurial ecosystem. We used a cultural consensus approach to elicit the shared mental models of a diverse sample of ecosystem members.
Individuals differ in how accurately they perceive their social environment, but research and theory provide conflicting predictions on whether powerful people are more or less accurate than others. Drawing on social network theory and the situated cognition theory of power, we examine the relationship between individuals' formal and informal power...
While there is some evidence individuals’ knowledge of the organization social network can be a valuable resource, providing advantages, it is unclear whether those advantages also relate to employee performance outcomes, such as career advancement. Thus, the question this study seeks to answer is: does accuracy of the social network provide unique...
Most of us will Encounter a wide range of bosses over our work experience; some terrible, some quite good, and some that might even be great. However, we rarely experience a truly exceptional boss who is transformational and becomes the standard by which all other bosses are measured. But if we do experience such a “Superboss,” what exactly makes t...
Studies of organizational culture perception from a social network view have found that structural antecedents such as individuals’ unique network position and embeddedness in strong cliques (Simmelian ties) influence the degree to which individuals share similar perceptions of the organizational social network. However, studies have not considered...
Informal relationships that convey advice and knowledge are critical to knowledge flows in organizations, and these relationships are often impacted by interpersonal conflict. This study investigates the relationship of personal- and work-related conflict on advice seeking in a midsized US firm. Findings demonstrate that conflict might differential...
This study examines the dynamic interplay of friendship and leadership networks. We collected whole-network panel data-at two intervals, four months apart-from all 25 members of a small group of elite students at a large Midwestern university. Using the software program SIENA, we analyzed network dynamics using a stochastic actor-based approach tha...

This is a long-term comprehensive project which aims at empirical and theoretical understanding of social structure perception. Previous work includes both antecedent and consequences of accurate network perceptions. Future work is a theoretical examination of these factors and the drivers of perception--including relational structures, accuracy, and inaccuracy. Emphasis is on interpersonal conflict relationships in organizations.
Examine the importance of negative tie CSS for individuals and groups in organizations.
