摘要：This study presents a theoretical framework for studying the effects of extra-group
social networks on teams. Building on a transaction cost economics framework, an
individual’s extra-group friendship network centrality is proposed to relate to
communication network centrality. This is because the individual will utilize the network
to establish an informational hierarchy thereby reducing the transaction costs
associated with finding information and resources. Through this network the individual
will be perceived as a higher team contributor. The team effects of extra-group network
centrality are proposed as higher team performance and innovativeness. Future
research opportunities and implications for practical use are presented.
