Abstract: The research examines the relationship between propensity to connect with others, social networks and job satisfaction. Social networks serve as a social resource which affects job satisfaction through the provision of supportiveness. The characteristics of nursing are life-related and emotion-consumed job. It is argued that both advice and friendship networks are important in a work setting. The research team developed a questionnaire and administered during an on-job training of the nurses. To derive the participants¡¦ advice and friendship networks, they were asked to list the names whom they consulted when they needed to know something about work and whom they considered to be their friends. Job satisfaction and the propensity to connect with others were also measured. The results showed that propensity to make acquaintance and outdegree were correlated with job satisfaction. Most of all, the advice and friendship networks were partially overlapped. It was conc!
luded that the human resource professional shoud care about both formal and informal relationships.
