Summary
A state-of-the-art rapid evidence assessment (REA) on organisational networking was performed during an internship at a small-sized human resource consultancy academic spin-off. Twenty-two studies were selected, reviewed, and assessed against level of methodological appropriateness and degree of feasibility for the targeted setting. Retrieved information encompassed networking effectiveness in enhancing organisational performance, effective networkers’ individual characteristics, and implementable strategies to foster employees’ networking capability. Networking turned out to be effective in promoting firms’ performance. A “good networker” individual profile emerged, entailing personality and ability variables. Six pursuable actions to foster employees’ networking capability were identified. Small-sized firms’ managers can use results to scientifically inform the planning, design and implementation of activities aimed at exploiting networking
