Abstract
Power and friendship networks in academic organizations are exam ined to see what effects selected dimensions of interaction have on the work alienation of educators. Findings suggest that interaction with friends and respected coworkers is more important to professional educa tors than contacts with those in authority. Patrick B. Forsyth is Assistant Professor of Educational Administra tion, Oklahoma State University; Wayne K. Hoy is Professor and Chair- person of the Department of Educational Administration, Rutgers Uni versity.Keywords
