ABSTRACT
One of the oldest and most recognizable concepts in social network analysis (SNA) is centrality. This chapter reviews a number of different centrality measures along with conventional interpretations of the measures. Included are degree, eigenvector, closeness, betweenness, and induced centrality, with examples of empirical articles in management and organizational psychology that have used the various measures. The focus is on publishing empirical research on centrality with attention to the concept, measure, type of network content, and boundary specification.
