    Dear Colleagues,

    Session Type: Symposium
    Program Session: 1355 | Submission: 12924 | Sponsor(s): (OB, OMT)
    Scheduled: Monday, Aug 7 2017 3:00PM - 4:30PM at Hilton Atlanta in Room 403
     
    Outside in: How Crosscutting Ties Drive Individual and Unit Performance
    Organizer: Ning Xu, U. at Buffalo, The State U. of New York 
    Discussant: Martin J. Kilduff, UCL School of Management 
    As the complexity of work tasks and uncertainty of organizational environment increases, employees who have social network ties across boundaries of their teams, organizations, or social groups are believed to perform well due to the access to diverse perspectives, nonredundant information, and multiple opportunities. However, a different opinion also exists that diversity from external relations can cause work-related problems, which further interferes with job performance and attitudes. In this symposium, we include five empirical papers that explore how, when and why crosscutting ties or external relations impact performance, at both individual- and unit-levels. After the presentations, Dr. Martin Kilduff, a renowned social network scholar, will serve as the discussant to provide constructive suggestions and lead an interactive group discussion.
