摘要

职业关系网包括一系列以目标为导向的人际互动,这些互动可以建立和维持职业关系,还包括交换工作和对职业有益的资源。尽管职业社交网络很有用,但许多人还是回避这种活动,这引发了人们对“人们为什么要建立社交网络”这个问题的兴趣。从人格和行为预测的心理学理论出发,我们为职业网络动机(PNMs)提供了一个理论基础,该理论解释了人们为什么建立网络的先前解释。通过对美国工业和组织心理学家的一系列半结构化访谈,我们验证并详细阐述了我们对人际关系管理的初步理论概念,以确定人际关系管理的特定领域内容(研究1)。我们进一步假设,“为什么”人们建立网络(即他们的人际关系管理)对他们“如何”建立网络(即网络行为)和他们的职业成功具有影响。在研究2中,我们基于美国不同职业的样本,开发并验证了一种情绪管理量表,并采用时间分离的研究设计来评估情绪管理量表对人际关系行为和职业成功的预测是否存在差异。我们说明了理解人们建立职业网络动机的价值,因为某些pm在促进不同类型的网络行为和职业成功方面比其他pm更重要。最后,我们讨论了本研究的理论和实践意义,并对未来的研究提出了建议,以加深对专业网络和pmms的理解。

Why do people network? Professional networking motives and their implications for networking behaviors and career success

Professional networking involves a series of goal-directed interpersonal interactions that build and maintain professional relationships and include the exchange of work and career-benefiting resources. Despite the utility of professional networking, many people eschew the activity, which has spurred interest in the question: “why do people network?” Drawing from psychological theories of personality and behavioral prediction, we offer a theoretical basis for Professional Networking Motives (PNMs) that accounts for prior explanations for why people network. We verify and elaborate upon our initial theoretical conceptualization of PNMs by drawing from a series of semi-structured interviews of industrial and organizational psychologists based in the United States to identify the domain-specific content of PNMs (Study 1). We further posit that “why” people network (i.e., their PNMs) has implications for “how” they network (i.e., networking behaviors) and their career success. In Study 2, we develop and validate a measure of PNMs based upon occupationally diverse samples based in the United States, and we use a time-separated research design to evaluate whether PNMs differentially predict networking behaviors and career success. We illustrate the value of understanding people's motives for professional networking, as certain PNMs are more important than others for promoting different types of networking behaviors and forms of career success. We conclude by discussing the theoretical and practical implications of our study and offer suggestions for future research to deepen the understanding of professional networking and PNMs.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Vocational Behavior publishes original empirical and theoretical articles offering unique insights into the realms of career choice, career development, and work adjustment across the lifespan. These contributions are not only valuable for academic exploration but also find applications in counseling and career development programs across diverse sectors such as colleges, universities, business, industry, government, and the military. The primary focus of the journal centers on individual decision-making regarding work and careers, prioritizing investigations into personal career choices rather than organizational or employer-level variables. Example topics encompass a broad range, from initial career choices (e.g., choice of major, initial work or organization selection, organizational attraction) to the development of a career, work transitions, work-family management, and attitudes within the workplace (such as work commitment, multiple role management, and turnover).
