dc.description.abstract This dissertation is about social relations in organizations and their implications for individuals. The dissertation is divided into three parts. In the first part, I analyze the effects of individual structural positions within social networks and the effects of self-monitoring, a personality trait, on work performance. In the second part, I analyze the effects of social relations and self-monitoring on the degree of organizational commitment of the members of the organization. Finally, in the third part I analyze the effects of structural positions and self-monitoring on the degree of accuracy with which individuals perceive their social networks. I address all my research questions and test my hypotheses in the context of a large multinational company. it_IT
dc.description.abstract La presente tesi di dottorato ha come oggetto le relazioni sociali esistenti all’interno delle organizzazioni e le implicazioni che queste hanno per gli individui. L’elaborato è suddiviso in tre parti. Nella prima parte analizzo gli effetti delle posizioni individuali nelle reti sociali e del self-monitoring, un tratto della personalità, sulla performance lavorativa. Nella seconda parte, analizzo gli effetti delle relazioni sociali e del self-monitoring sul livello di commitment (impegno) dei membri dell’organizzazione. Infine, nella terza parte, analizzo gli effetti delle posizioni strutturali e del self-monitoring sull’accuratezza con la quale gli individui percepiscono le loro reti sociali. Tutte le domande di ricerca e le ipotesi della presente ricerca sono analizzate e testate nel contesto di una grande impresa multinazionale. it_IT
