Relationship Quality and Virtuousness (2013, background): “Although relationship strength has also been measured in terms of duration or length of time in the relationship, and more frequent communication (Granovetter, 1973), researchers have quite commonly focused on closeness as a measure of relationship strength (see Jack, 2005; Reagans & McEvily, 2003; ”
Unpacking Team Familiarity: The Effects of Geographic Location and Hierarchical Role (2012, background): “Strong ties between team members may lead to more creative problem solving (Sosa 2011).”
Respect as an engine for new ideas: Linking respectful engagement, relational information processing and creativity among employees and teams (2015, background): “However, recent empirical research has documented that strong ties can also be key for facilitating idea generation (Sosa, 2011: 16).”
From STEM to STEAM: How to Monitor Creativity (2018, background): “Other factors can be both supporters and blockers of creativity: Social distance inhibits creativity (Sosa, 2011).”
The Differential Impact of Knowledge Depth and Knowledge Breadth on Creativity over Individual Careers (2017, background): “knowledge structures thanks to the exposure to different domains, and in doing so, have a greater ability to recombine knowledge across different domains to generate creative outcomes (PerrySmith & Shalley, 2003; Simonton, 1988; Sosa, 2011; Taylor & Greve, 2006).”
Social network analysis: foundations and frontiers on advantage. (2013, neutral): “…in a small number of suppliers; Reagans & McEvily (2003) on strong bridges facilitating knowledge transfer; Centola & Macy (2007) on complex ideas more likely to diffuse with strong bridges, termed “Simmelian ties”; and Sosa (2011) on creativity associated with strong rather than weak bridges.”
One of Us or One of My Friends: How Social Identity and Tie Strength Shape the Creative Generativity of Boundary-Spanning Ties (2014, methodology): “…boundaries to interact with colleagues external to one’s own work team is valuable for accessing and acquiring the distinct and varied knowledge, approaches, and perspectives that generate creative ideas and solutions (Burt, 2004; Obstfeld, 2005; Perry-Smith & Shalley, 2003; Sosa, 2011).”
