   Abstract:
   We present a descriptive model of developmental networks - interpersonal ties who take an active interest in and concerted action to advance one's career - and argue that both network structure and relational content are necessary for understanding how individuals receive early career support. By following 77 MBA graduates over three time periods (N = 977 ties), we find evidence for an inner-outer core network structure in which ties providing high psychosocial support and low career support populate the inner core. © 2005 Elsevier B.V.
