N2 - Organizational centrality, the extent to which an employee is integrated into the network of interpersonal relationships within the work system, has rarely been examined empirically. A survey measuring centrality as well as career attitudes and expectations was completed by 392 full-time employees of a county government. Superiors also rated respondents on three components of centrality. Both self-report and supervisory measures of centrality were related to hierarchical level, career satisfaction, and intention to turnover Organizational centrality holds promise for increasing understanding of employees' intraorganizational careers.
