Pittinsky’s research applies social network theory and methods to the study of phenomena in two fields: education and management. In particular, Pittinsky studies cognitive social networks – patterns of association as perceived and/or claimed by actors, distinct from their behavioral form. He is currently studying claims of association by firms in the context of how U.S. public companies benchmark their executives’ compensation packages, and the extent to which the network structure that emerges helps explain certain trends in executive compensation. He is also studying claims of association by individuals in the context of how leaders (e.g., teachers, managers, U.S. Army sergeants) perceive patterns of relations among their subordinates, and the extent to which those perceptions influence performance evaluations (i.e., they assume the friend of a high performer is also a high performer).
