Organizational Politics and Job Outcomes: The Moderating Effect of Trust and Social Support (2010, background): “…1992) and personality attributes (e.g., self-monitoring, political skills), which have been deemed to be quite relevant in the creation of an individual’s social network (Blickle, Meurs et al., 2008; Blickle, Schneider, Perrewé, Blass, & Ferris, 2008; Blickle & Witzki, 2008; Kalish & Robins, 2006).”
Networking as a job search behaviour: A social network perspective (2009, methodology): “Other formalist theorists have argued that the positive effects of weak ties rest in the spanning of structural holes (i.e. alters who are not connected to each other) in the individual’s social network (Burt, 1997; Kalish & Robins, 2006).”
Networking behaviour, graduate employability: a social capital perspective (2017, background): “Secondly, we expand the social network literature (Kalish and Robins, 2006), by identifying that one intensifying individual-level attribute, namely JSLGO, enhances access to resources acquired via networking and thus perceived employability.”
Understanding individual behaviors within covert networks: the interplay of individual qualities, psychological predispositions, and network effects (2009, background): “Accordingly, brokers in covert networks have an even greater motivation to be secretive (and such a position may indeed suit more neurotic individuals– Kalish and Robins 2006 ).”
Network-based Research in Entrepreneurship: A Decade in Review (2015, background): “We expect further work to continue that have linked a wider array of individual characteristics such as group orientation, extraversion, and neuroticism to network structure including centrality draws on studies (such as Kalish and Robins (2006) and Klein, Lim, Saltz, and Mayer (2004)).”
Personality and Political Discussion (2011, background): “Kalish and Robins (2006) find effects for both extraversion and emotional stability on the structure and closeness of networks.”
Dispositional Optimism and the Emergence of Social Network Diversity (2012, background): “Not surprisingly, these studies find significant relationships between personality dispositions and social network structure (for a review, see Kalish and Robins 2006).”
Culture, trust, and social networks (2008, background): “People who share a group membership are perceived to be trustworthy (Brewer, 1979; Yamagishi & Kiyonari, 2000); trusting behaviour is directed towards members of one’s ingroup more than outgroups (Tanis & Postmes, 2005).”
Integrating Personality and Social Networks: A Meta-Analysis of Personality, Network Position, and Work Outcomes in Organizations (2015, background): “But extraverts prefer to bring their different social contacts together (Kalish and Robins 2006).”
Antecedents and Consequences of Social Network Characteristics for Expatriate Adjustment and Performance in Overseas Assignments: Implications for HRD (2008, methodology): “This notion has received some support by research showing that people who are low on selfefficacy and see themselves as vulnerable to external forces, tend to inhabit networks in which all individuals are connected to each other (Kalish & Robins, 2006).”
Personality and social networks in organizations: A review and future directions (2016, background): “Kalish and Robins (2006) approached this question by decomposing social networks into different types of threeperson configurations via a triad census (see Wasserman & Faust, 1994, for more information).”
Measuring Large-Scale Social Networks with High Resolution (2014, background): “features, network structure, and personality has been studied in [173–176].”
Social network theory: new insights and issues for behavioral ecologists (2009, background): “In human business structures, a few studies have examined how the personality of high centrality individuals who bridge across separate groups influences the resulting flow of ideas and corporate efficiency (e.g., Kalish and Robins 2006; Burt et al. 1998).”
What's Different about Social Media Networks? A Framework and Research Agenda (2014, background): “In these studies, the node's personal characteristics influence its motivation to take certain network positions or to shape the network to achieve desired outcomes (e.g., Sasovova, et al. 2011; Kalish and Robins 2006; Obstfeld 2005).”
