| Abstract: | In this article, the authors propose and test a model of the effects of perceived environmental uncertainty on personal networking activities and firm performance. The authors predicted that they would engage in increased external and internal networking activities. This increased networking in response to perceived uncertainty would then result in improved financial performance for their firms. The data provide support for the effects of perceived uncertainty on internal networking and firm performance. Increased internal networking in response to increased perceived uncertainty resulted in better firm performance. The data, however, do not provide support for the predictions related to external networking and firm performance. |
