Tiivistelmä: | The author finds that in China personal networks are used to influence authorities who in turn assign jobs as favors to their contacts, which is a type of anauthorized activity facilitated by strong ties characterized by trust and obligation. In a 1988 survey in Taiwan, the author finds that jobs are acquired through strong ties more frequently than through weak ties; both direct and indirect ties are used to obtain help from job-assigning authorities; job-seekers and and their ultimate helpers are indirectly connected through intermediaries to whom both are strongly tied. |
