摘要
本文在评述市场经济和再分配经济体制下社会网络对于职业流动不同作用的社会学理论的基础上 ,提出了转型经济中社会网络对于职业流动作用的 4个理论假设 ,即市场化假设、权力维续假设、机制共存假设和体制洞假设。文章运用对天津 1 999年就业过程所做调查获取的资料检验了上述假设 ,第一次对人情和信息两种关系资源进行了测量 ,并进一步分析了社会网络在 3种经济体制下发挥作用的不同形式。作者的结论是 :职业流动者的社会网络主要是由亲属和朋友两类强关系构成 ,社会网络发挥作用的形式以提供人情为主 ,以传递信息为辅。这些作用在转型经济时代尤为突出。
The authors first review several sociological theories on the role of social networks in occupational mobility in both re distributive and market economies. In order to analyze the transitional Chinese economy, they propose four different hypotheses, namely, those of marketization, the continuity of power, co existent mechanisms, and institutional gaps. In 1999 a survey was conducted in Tianjin to analyze these hypotheses. The survey focused on the distinction between information networks and networks of the connections, which for the first time in empirical research were measured quantitatively. The authors found that job seekers frequently resort to a social network consisting mainly of relatives and friends rather than general acquaintances, and that this social network operates chiefly through influence or favors and the information it provides plays only a subsidiary role. This trend is surprisingly stronger in the current transitional economy than in the re distributive economy of the past.
