Abstract / Description of output

This paper uses a quantitative social network perspective to provide insights on the importance of professional interactions for (second career) teachers' work socialization. Given the lack of statistical models addressing the relation between network data and individual variables, we drew on a multiple-membership social network model (MMMCSNA) to address our research questions. Our results show the importance of social capital in the process of teachers’ work socialization, even more so in the case of second career teachers. Moreover, as shown through a comparison between estimates in our MMMCSNA model and in a single-level regression model, the proposed model performed better.
