Education Educational Leadership School Administration superintendents networks peer networks value social capital relational support task-related support loneliness This exploratory case study aims to examine what superintendents value about participating in a superintendent network. I investigated why superintendents join networks of their peers, the values and drawbacks superintendents associate with participation, and the impact of participation on the day-to-day work of superintendents. Previous research has shown positive outcomes generated by network participation, including acquiring knowledge, sharing information, offering/receiving support, and accessing resources. Literature on networking spans career fields, but relatively little research exists about superintendent networks. This study examined the perceptions and participation of eight superintendents in a professional peer network. Drawing on a wide body of network research, I argue that superintendents value networks because they provide opportunities for support that are difficult to find elsewhere. Furthermore, I argue that superintendent networks help to reduce loneliness among superintendents by increasing opportunities for social capital. This study advances our understanding of why superintendents value networks and evidences how superintendents approach network participation in order to achieve desired outcomes. 2018-09-18 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1523400238136514 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1523400238136514 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
