“Membership Dynamics in an Insurance Group: Ingroup (local Agency) and Outgroup (Company)”
No full textResearch context regards branch agencies of the of an insurance company: the characteristics of such organizations are the dynamics of interdependence between agencies and head office. The study comprised all 19 insurance agencies of one company operating in the province of Verona, with 61 employees and 19 General Insurance Agents (80 interviewees). Individual determinants have been codified: job role characteristics, personal details and sense of power within the organization; and the following psychosocial determinants: cohesion, entitativity and confidence. Results show that Ingroup/Outgroup perceptions are affected by a combination of individual and psychosocial elements, but there are differences if the questions are related that to local agency group or to head office. With head office, the influence of the individuals aspects prevail, whereas correlations regarding psychosocial variables are much stronger in the agencies. We have verified hypotheses in which some psychosocial variables sensitively weigh upon dynamics of organizational membership, and therefore continuous monitoring of such psychosocial elements are strategically important in the "co-construction" of an organizational culture are verified, and appear as: - work satisfaction is bound to the affective elements of membership; - evaluation of the General Sales Agents reveals a pressure to conform: the more the employee aligns him/herself to the local agency culture, the more the manager (GSA) will evaluate positively his /her agency. - there is a relationship between the parameters of productivity of the agencies and the Intragroup cohesion indicators

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
