Abstract:
Social networks of the Web 2.0 have become global (e.g., FaceBook, etc). In 1977, FREEMAN published generic metrics for Social Networks Analysis (SNA), mainly based on graph-mining models. The objective of our work is to extend these static analysis models by taking the conceptual aspects of enterprises and institutions social graph into account. These conceptual aspects are embedded in trades-oriented ontologies extracted from the endogenous information, connate to the studied social networks. The originality of our multidisciplinary work is to define new multidimensional measures in SNA for new decision-making functions in Human Resource Management (HRM). This paper introduces three new contributions: (1) a metric of tension of a social network, (2), an extension of the FREEMAN’s betweenness measure named semantic betweenness and (3) a notion of reactance of a social network used for the evaluation of the individual stress.
