Direct and moderating effects of experience and leadership in relation to occupying a critical network position
Direct and moderating effects of experience and leadership in relation to occupying a critical network position
This study draws on social network theory to develop a new theoretical model to explain how experience and leadership influence critical network position. Broad analyses of the mediating role of leadership between experience and critical network position calls attention to the need to investigate the direct relationship between leadership and critical network position. Empirical examinations of the roles of leadership and experience within the social network context are lacking. We seek to fill this gap by testing our model in the knowledge-intensive sector. We conclude that both experience and leadership have positive direct and moderating effects on critical position occupation. Our findings have significant career implications for persons occupying critical network position.

Abstract
This study draws on social network theory to develop a new theoretical model to explain how experience and leadership influence critical network position. Broad analyses of the mediating role of leadership between experience and critical network position calls attention to the need to investigate the direct relationship between leadership and critical network position. Empirical examinations of the roles of leadership and experience within the social network context are lacking. We seek to fill this gap by testing our model in the knowledge-intensive sector. We conclude that both experience and leadership have positive direct and moderating effects on critical position occupation. Our findings have significant career implications for persons occupying critical network position.
