The purpose of this article is to better illustrate and integrate calling research, which grows out of the positive organizational scholarship movement, into how we understand public service motives.

This article explores the question of ...

摘要：This article examines how gender influences top managers' networking activities and what situational factors intensify or ameliorate such gender effects. Focusing on female top managers' efforts to engage in external networking activities, the authors conceptualize how and why female managers might develop different networking patterns and how such relationships could be redirected by several contingent factors specific to the context of U.S. local school districts. Using three sets of surveys...
