Social network analysis: foundations and frontiers on advantage. (2013, unknown): “For people in the same populations with below-average social distinguished from random noise, even for a person rich in access to structural holes.”
Network-Related Personality and the Agency Question: Multirole Evidence from a Virtual World1 (2012, background): “Anderson (2008) shows that managers with a high “need for cognition” are more likely to take advantage of information in their network.”
Individual connectedness in innovation networks: On the role of individual motivation (2013, background): “…and extrinsic motivation on individuals’ knowledge sharing behavior are not new (e.g. Amabile, 1993; Hung et al., 2011; Kankanhalli et al., 2005), scholars have only begun to explore the effect of individual psychological differences on network structures (Klein et al., 2004; Anderson, 2008).”
Accounting information and managerial work (2010, background): “There is also much to learn about how managers engage with accounting information because there are remarkably few studies of what information managers actually use or might use (Anderson, 2008; March, 1986).”
Networking behaviour, graduate employability: a social capital perspective (2017, background): “We show that behaviour individuals use in social networks is equally important (Kilduff and Brass, 2010) to both build relationship and access resources. and furthers the argument in general that social capital needs to be utilized and capitalized upon in order to be beneficial (Anderson, 2008).”
Prior knowledge and social networks in the exploitation of entrepreneurial opportunities (2010, background): “Entrepreneurs can also enhance their success through the benefits derived from social capital or networks of contacts ( Anderson 2008; Hoang and Antoncic 2003; Johannisson 1988, 2000; Shane and Cable 2002).”
Why a Central Network Position Isn't Enough: The Role of Motivation and Ability for Knowledge Sharing in Employee Networks (2011, background): “Although most network research has not studied knowledge sharing directly (notable exceptions are Anderson [2008], Hansen [1999, 2002], and Hansen et al.”
Thriving in Central Network Positions: The Role of Political Skill (2018, background): “This research also addresses calls to better understand the intervening mechanisms linking such positions to employees’ psychological experience and other outcomes (Anderson, 2008; Seibert, Kraimer, & Liden, 2001).”
Social Networks, Cognitive Style, and Innovative Performance: A Contingency Perspective (2015, background): “Second, our study advances the stream of literature that studies social networks from a contingency perspective (Anderson, 2008; Burt, 1997).”
The moderating role of social ties on entrepreneurs' depressed affect and withdrawal intentions in response to economic stress (2012, background): “Structural support, via receiving information and resources (e.g., referrals to new sources of revenue and new clients), can help entrepreneurs regain a sense of control and can provide ways to take action (e.g., Aldrich & Zimmer, 1986; Anderson, 2008; Soh, 2003).”
