Abstract

Employees’ feedback-seeking networks at work are important for employees’ learning and employability. Earlier studies often neglected the specific characteristics of the different relationships an individual employee has at work. We conduct social network analyses in seven samples to study inter-individual differences in feedback-seeking relationships in detail. We investigate 2,058 feedback-seeking relationships of 118 employees to study how similarity-attraction affects the composition of feedback-seeking networks at work and how the composition of these feedback-seeking networks influences employees’ employability. This research study aims to contribute by taking into account both the mechanisms that shape feedback-seeking networks and the effects of this on employability. The results show that similarity-attraction affects feedback-seeking in the workplace and that having a largely homogeneous feedback-seeking network has detrimental effects on employability.

相似吸引理论和工作中的反馈寻求行为：它们如何影响就业能力？

员工在工作中寻求反馈的网络对员工的学习和就业能力很重要。早期的研究往往忽略了员工在工作中不同关系的具体特征。我们在七个样本中进行了社交网络分析，以详细研究寻求反馈关系的个体间差异。我们调查了118名员工的2058种寻求反馈的关系，以研究相似性吸引如何影响工作中寻求反馈网络的组成，以及这些寻求反馈的网络的组成如何影响员工的就业能力。这项研究旨在通过考虑形成反馈寻求网络的机制及其对就业能力的影响来做出贡献。研究结果表明，相似吸引会影响工作场所的反馈寻求，而拥有一个基本同质的反馈寻求网络会对就业能力产生不利影响。

期刊介绍： Studia Paedagogica publishes original papers on education, upbringing and learning from all spheres of social life. The papers are theoretical, but mainly empirical as the journal publishes research undertaken in the Czech Republic and abroad. The journal publishes only original research papers and is open to both experienced and early researchers. Early researchers can publish their papers in the section Emerging Researchers of the journal and are offered intensive editorial support. The journal is interdisciplinary - it covers current topics in educational research while at the same time providing scope for studies grounded in other social sciences. The journal publishes four issues per year, two issues are dedicated to general interest articles and are in Czech, two issues are on a single topic and are in English. Studia Paedagogica is a peer reviewed journal published by the Masaryk University. The executive editors are members of the staff of the Department of Educational Sciences and the editorial board comprises of international experts. The name of the journal is derived from the name of its predecessor, Studia minora facultatis philosophicae universitatis brunensis (Sborník prací filozofické fakulty brněnské univerzity), which was issued from 1996 to 2008. However, the tradition of the journal dates much further back as the pedagogical-psychological series of the journal was published even between 1966 to 1995.
