BOUCHARD, Pascale  and  MAYA-JARIEGO, Isidro. Attachment styles, personal networks, and satisfaction with professional career among managers in Quebec (Canada). Rev. psicol. trab. organ.

In this study, we analyze the relationship of adult attachment style with the structural properties of personal networks and the social capital of 67 managers in the province of Quebec (Canada). Through cluster analysis, two differentiated relational profiles were detected. Secure attachment is associated with dense and comparatively small networks of strong ties. The avoidance dimension is related instead to larger and more centralized networks, with weaker ties. There were no significant differences in satisfaction with the professional career depending on the attachment style. However, satisfaction with the career showed a significant relationship with the centralization of the personal network.

Keywords : Attachment; Personal networks; Social capital; Career satisfaction; Managers.
