摘要：
Over the past decade, social network research has been a powerful tool to understand important organizational phenomena spanning different research areas, such as leadership (Carter, DeChurch, Braun, & Contractor, 2015), teamwork (Li, Zhao, Walter, Zhang,& Yu, 2015), creativity and innovation (Perry-Smith & Shalley, 2003), career (Seibert, Kraimer, & Liden, 2001), power and influence (Ibarra & Andrews, 1993). A social network approach allows organizational scholars to capture the complex and dynamic interactions among individuals in the workplace and gain a finer grained understanding of the phenomenon of interest. Moving forward, with the fast development of information technology, modern technologies have transformed the way employees work in contemporary organizations. As a result, organizations are increasingly using digital collaboration platforms to encourage more efficient collaborations among employees. Therefore, social network analysis is also a powerful tool in understanding employee behaviors in the digital era. In this presentation, I will synthesize various applications of social network analysis in organizational research in the past and discuss promising future directions of social network research such as digital collaboration, network change, and big data.
在过去十年中，社会网络的理论及工具已被大量研究者采用以研究组织管理中的问题，例如领导力(Carter, DeChurch, Braun, & Contractor, 2015)、团队合作(Li, Zhao, Walter, Zhang, & Yu, 2015)、创造力与创新(Perry-Smith & Shalley, 2003)、以及权力与影响策略(Ibarra& Andrews, 1993)。采用社会网络的视角，研究者可以获取工作场所中人与人之间更加复杂、动态的人际交往过程，以及更好地理解组织管理现象。近些年来，随着信息技术的快速发展，当代组织中员工的工作方式已经发生了很大变化。具体而言，组织越来越依靠信息化合作平台推动组织内员工之间更高效地协同工作。在此次汇报中，李宁教授将系统总结过往关于从社会网络视角探究组织管理问题的研究，并详细讨论未来潜在的研究方向，例如：信息化协作、网络结构变化以及大数据应用。
