| Resumo: | Despite the social ties play an important role in the analysis of organizational social networks, its measurement is still incipient. This article empirically proposes and evaluates a scale to measure the strength of the relationship networks. Following the recommendations of Churchill (1979) for the development of the instrument and from the definition adopted of ties, the scale showed fourteen items that were grouped into five dimensions: frequency of time, similarity, reciprocity, emotional intensity and intimacy. The study contributes to the literature by revealing the measurement of the ties can help in better knowledge of individuals in group settings. |
