The Way

Extant research in organizational networks has provided critical insights into understanding the benefits of occupying a brokerage position. More recently, researchers have moved beyond the brokerage position to consider the brokering processes (arbitration and collaboration) brokers engage in and their implications for performance. However, brokering processes are typically measured using scales that reflect individuals’ orientation toward engaging in a behavior, rather than the behavior itself. In this article, we propose a measure that captures the behavioral process of brokering. The measure indicates the extent to which actors engage in arbitration versus collaboration based on sequences of time stamped relational events, such as emails, message boards, and recordings of meetings. We demonstrate the validity of our measure as well as its predictive ability. By leveraging the temporal information inherent in sequences of relational events, our behavioral measure of brokering creates opportunities for researchers to explore the dynamics of brokerage and their impact on individuals, and also paves the way for a systematic examination of the temporal dynamics of networks.

The Relationship

A behavioral process method was used to explore the relationship of individual difference factors to consumer information acquisition behavior. Findings included: (1) the mean proportion of available information actually acquired was 2%, and (2) information search was concentrated on six of the 35 available information dimensions; increased information acquisition was related (3) positively to the product's importance for the individual, (4) positively to being an optimizer rather than a satisficer, (5) positively to high amounts of past purchasing experience with the product, and (6) negatively to attitudinal brand loyalty.

This article examines the emerging phenomenon of the non-use of WeChat Moments. Drawing upon semi-structured interviews with 21 users who used Moments for at least 6 months, then voluntarily discontinued their use of the feature, we discuss the complex dynamics of Moments use, exploring the implicit micro-behavioral process of social media practice. Countering the purported hyper-centrality of WeChat, we identified a periodic loop of “use, non-use, reuse” of Moments, suggesting that people suspend their use of Moments periodically to “re-domesticate” technology. Through the prism of the domestication approach, we argue that the re-domestication of Moments is a “reboot” of the whole process of domestication through four key stages: re-appropriation, re-objectification, re-incorporation, and re-conversion. Re-domestication is a process that allows people to take a retrospective look at their lives and transform Moments from a disruptive app feature into an instrumental apparatus conducive to their personal and professional well-being. By examining this process, we discuss how people use innovative ways to regain their autonomy and agency in their daily interactions with WeChat.

Assembly devices are important in manufacturing systems. To study their conceptual design methodologies, it is necessary to investigate their behavioral process characteristics. In this paper, the behavioral processes exhibited by some assembly devices were studied, from which we discovered the so-called “phenyl-loop behaviors” with some unique characteristics. Some specific rules were subsequently proposed to help identify these behaviors, and their usefulness for conceptual design was also discussed. A structure-behavior database was set up based on existing assembly devices and a design platform was constructed for assembly devices design.

The purpose of this study was to define the dimensions of coaching performance for coaches and to develop a scale to measure those dimensions. The literature-based model used in this study espoused the use of three broad categories—behavioral product factors, behavioral process factors related to the task, and behavioral process factors related to maintenance of the organization. Each of these broad categories was further subdivided into two classes to yield a model of six dimensions of coaching performance. The dimensions explored were (a) team products, (b) personal products, (c) direct task behaviors, (d) indirect task behaviors, (e) administrative maintenance behaviors, and (f) public relations behaviors. Seventy-seven administrators and 363 coaches from Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union institutions responded to the coaching performance scale for the purposes of this study. Item-to-total correlations, confirmatory factor analysis, and internal consistency estimates supported the conceptual model and yielded a psychometrically sound Scale of Coaching Performance (SCP).

Behavior Characteristics

Functional adaptability makes a product not only multifunctional but also compact in structure and flexible in application. An adaptable-function mechanical product generally demonstrates various degrees of similarity in its behavioral processes for different adaptable functions. Evaluation of this similarity is an important aspect of research for the design of such products, especially for redesigning existing products towards functional adaptability. Until present there lacks research on the design and development of this specific kind of products, including the work on the similarity evaluation of their behavioral processes. To address this problem, this paper investigates the functional and structural characteristics of adaptable-function products first. Based on this, by applying the function-behavior-structure design rationale, a redesign framework of mechanical product for functional adaptability was proposed, and the similarity characteristic of behavioral process was investigated, both on that of the behavior structure and that of behavior characteristics. Furthermore, the paper applied a fuzzy mathematics method for the evaluation of behavioral process similarity, for which a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model was constructed and the corresponding evaluation method was proposed. Finally, a mini-combined machine tool with adaptable-functions was taken as an example to analyze the behavioral processes and to illustrate the proposed similarity evaluation procedure. The results demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed methodologies.
