This study examines employee perceptions of social network dynamics in the context of an organizational change. We employ a longitudinal design in a field study of a U.S.-based organization that is undergoing an office relocation, from a traditional office setting to an open-space work environment. We examine employee perceptions of changes to immediate, or local, network and overall, or global network, as well as how each of these perceptions affects job satisfaction. We show that perceived change in one's local network affects one's perceptions of change in the global social network, and that each perception influences job satisfaction through a different mechanism. These findings corroborate and begin to explain previous conflicting findings about the open-office workplace design, and we discuss these implications for future research. We also find that employees in this organization favor close, dense network formation, in contrast to theories that favor network sparseness. We discuss potential reasons for this finding, and offer support for the use social network analysis as an original theoretical examination of organizational change research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
