Article analysis:
The article “THE TOPOGRAPHY OF INTRA-ORGANIZATIONAL NETWORKS” by Anna Ujwary-Gil and Natalia Potoczek is a well-structured and comprehensive piece of research that provides an in-depth analysis of intra-organizational networks from the perspective of knowledge, resources, and tasks used by employees. The authors have conducted a thorough investigation into the topic, using interviews and surveys to collect data from 82 employees in a public organization operating in the higher education sector.
The article is reliable in terms of its methodology, as it uses valid methods such as interviews and surveys to collect data from respondents. Furthermore, the authors have provided detailed explanations for their chosen measures for organizational network analysis (ONA), which are clearly outlined in Table 1. Additionally, they have also provided clear definitions for each measure used in their analysis.
However, there are some potential biases that should be noted when considering this article's trustworthiness and reliability. Firstly, although 93% participation rate was achieved among respondents, it is possible that those who did not participate may have had different views on the topic than those who did participate; thus introducing bias into the results obtained from this study. Secondly, although ONA has been widely used in various types of research (as mentioned by the authors), it should be noted that this method does not take into account all aspects related to intra-organizational networks; thus potentially introducing bias into their results due to lack of consideration for certain factors or variables related to these networks.
In conclusion, this article provides an insightful analysis into intra-organizational networks from the perspective of knowledge, resources, and tasks used by employees; however there are some potential biases that should be taken into consideration when assessing its trustworthiness and reliability.
