We are a group of scholars dedicated to studying the problems of creating and maintaining high quality connections in organizations.  The name comes from Jane Dutton and Emily Heaphy's 2003 chapter, in which they describe high quality connections as those having the ability to "literally and figuratively enliven people" at work. The goals of the site are as follows: 
 

• To Aggregate insights about high quality connections in organizations for the manager or employee interested in improving relationships at work.  
   

• To Disseminate knowledge about research relating to high quality connections and how such research can be beneficial to managers and employees alike.  
   

• To Comment on real-world problems of managing high quality connections at work;
  showing "theory in action." 

We hope you enjoy the site and are able to create your own high quality connections!
