| | Monge & Contractor: Emergence of Communication Networks |
 | | Monge and Eisenberg (1987) argued that asking people to provide their interpretations of one or more significant communication messages, events, or artifacts could create semantic networks. |
 | | In a study of a high-technology firm, a library, and a hospital, Contractor, Eisenberg, and Monge (1997) examined the semantic networks representing the extent to which employees shared interpretations of their organizations’ missions. |
 | | Early studies (e.g., Brass, 1981; Eisenberg, Monge, and Miller, 1984; Roberts and O’Reilly, 1979) reported contradictory and inconsistent findings about the extent to which individuals who were well connected, integrated, or central in their communication networks were more likely to be satisfied and committed to their organizations. |
