Abstract
This paper analyzes how network communities condition the effects of embeddedness and status. Many economic fields are segmented into network communities that shape market activity. Using data on the hiring of 39,870 television producers from 1948 to 2010, we show that community membership moderates the effects of embeddedness and status. Embeddedness and status positively affect producers' employment by members of their communities, but negatively impact their employment by non-community members. These results contribute to the understanding of the operation of embeddedness and status in markets and to efforts to incorporate community-level dynamics into network analysis.
期刊介绍:
Social Networks is an interdisciplinary and international quarterly. It provides a common forum for representatives of anthropology, sociology, history, social psychology, political science, human geography, biology, economics, communications science and other disciplines who share an interest in the study of the empirical structure of social relations and associations that may be expressed in network form. It publishes both theoretical and substantive papers. Critical reviews of major theoretical or methodological approaches using the notion of networks in the analysis of social behaviour are also included, as are reviews of recent books dealing with social networks and social structure.
