作为社会资本研究选择名字生成器的指南，我使用网络数据的概率样本的异质性高级管理人员来描述他们如何排序的关系到种类，以及种类如何变化，有助于社会资本。管理者根据两个强度维度对关系进行排序--亲密度（尤其是亲密与疏远）与活跃度（与新认识的人频繁接触，与老朋友很少接触）--以及两个内容--个人讨论（信任和社交关系）与公司权威（老板的正式权威和基本认同的非正式权威）。通过比较名字生成者作为社会资本指标的结构效度，计算了不同关系的网络约束，并将约束与早期晋升联系起来。个人关系网络的相关性很强，权威关系网络的相关性为零，个人关系和权威关系的相关性最强。最后，我将介绍关于选择名称生成器的研究设计建议。(C)1997年Elsevier Science B.V.
As a guide to selecting name generators for social capital research, I use network data on a probability sample of heterogeneous senior managers to describe how they sort relations into kinds, and how the kinds vary in contributing to social capital. Managers sort relations on two dimensions of strength - intimacy (especially close versus distant) versus activity (frequent contact with new acquaintances versus rare contact with old friends) - and with respect to two contents - personal discussion (confiding and socializing relations) versus corporate authority (the formal authority of the boss and informal authority of essential buy-in). Comparing name generators for their construct validity as indicators of social capital, I compute network constraint from different kinds of relations, and correlate constraint with early promotion. The correlation is strong for the network of personal relations, zero for the network of authority relations, and strongest for personal and authority relations together. I close with research design recommendations for selecting name generators. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
