The Limits Of Networks In Social Movement Retention: On Canvassers And Their Careers
In: Mobilization: the international quarterly review of social movement research, Band 17, Heft 2, S. 109-128
ISSN: 1086-671X
Although scholars have examined the different pathways to participation in social movements, far less research has looked at the endurance of activists once they mobilize. This article specifically explores the relationship between the pathways to mobilization and retention. Our data show that both social ties and individual motivations play a role in mobilizing participants of social movements. Contrary to what one might expect, we find that those activists who were mobilized with personal connections were less likely to be working for the organization a year later versus those who came to the organization as strangers. We find instead that self-starters -- those canvassers who entered the canvass through their own volition -- stayed on longer. Although those canvassers who came to the job through network ties were less likely to be working for the organization a year later, they were more likely to be engaged in other civic and political groups and they were more likely to be leaders of these groups. Adapted from the source document.

Popular culture, voice and linguistic diversity: young adults on- and offline
In: Language and globalization
This book analyses the language practices of young adults in Mongolia and Bangladesh in online and offline environments. Focusing on the diverse linguistic and cultural resources these young people draw on in their interactions, the authors bring to our attention the creative and innovative nature of their transglossic practices. Situated on the Asian periphery, these young adults roam widely in their use of popular culture, media voices and linguistic resources. This innovative and topical book will appeal to students and scholars of sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, cultural studies and linguistic anthropology

Goal specific social capital and job satisfaction Effects of different types of networks on instrumental and social aspects of work
In: Flap , H & Völker , B 2001 , ' Goal specific social capital and job satisfaction Effects of different types of networks on instrumental and social aspects of work ' , Social Networks , vol. 23 , pp. 297 .
This paper addresses the question "To what extent can job satisfaction be explained as the revenue of social capital?" By conceiving someone's social network as social capital we specify conditions under which social ties do lead to job satisfaction. We inquire into the idea of goal specificity of social capital, which implies that a network with a given structure and content will have different impacts on various aspects of job satisfaction. If the content of the ties and the structure of the network at the job engender material well-being or produce social approval, satisfaction with the corresponding job aspects increases. Data were collected in 1993 using written questionnaires in two Dutch governmental agencies, one with 32 and the other with 44 employees. These workers' networks were charted using nine name-generating questions. Social capital, it turns out, is not an all-purpose good but one that is goal specific, even within a single domain of life such as work. Three effects stand out: First, the structure of the network and the content of the ties do matter. Networks of strategic, work-related ties promote an employee's satisfaction with instrumental aspects of the job, like income, security, and career opportunities. Second, closed networks of identity-based solidarity ties improve an employee's satisfaction with social aspects of the job, like the general social climate at work and cooperation with management and colleagues. Third, a network with a bow–tie structure (i.e., where a focal actor is the link between two or more mutually exclusive cliques) generally has strong negative effects on satisfaction with the social side of the job; although a bow–tie type network of trusting ties does increase satisfaction with the social side. This implies that Krackhardt's hypothesis on the unpleasant feelings produced by bow–tie type networks has to be specified for the content of the ties that constitute such a network. The most important conclusion of our analysis is that goal specificity of social capital ...

Online trip planning and fleet management system
The present trip planning and fleet management systems employed by Spartanburg Community College is primarily paper based with limited computer applications. Travel is an important and integral part of the higher education process and can create a paper chase problem. Therefore, there is a tremendous opportunity to improve the management of travel. The author recommends Spartanburg Community College create a web-based system to help transportation departments connect better and faster with trip requesters and coordinators by facilitating easy processing of the many issues associated with trip planning and fleet management.
