    Dear Sirs,

    My name is Teresa Passos, I am Portuguese although I am doing my Phd in
    Organizational Psichology at Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, Spain,
    with Prof. Dámaso Rodríguez.

    In my thesis I am planning to investigate the process os merger of two
    Portuguese private Banks in what concerns their ties of communication an
    other features related to social networks. Finnaly, I woul like to relate
    the found social configurations with the organizational climate of the
    companies.

    In what concerns organizational climate, I already have instruments of
    evaluation.

    My main difficulty is with social network analysis: the found bibliography
    is proliferous about theory and methodology, but "silent" about
    questionnaires/tests to evaluate the existing networks.

    I ask your help to know how can I find this kind of material for social
    networks evaluation.

    I thank your valuable suggestions in advance.

    Yours sincerely,

    Teresa Passos

    Suggest you try some social science research people, who do survey work a
    lot. I would query John D. McClure, at allstat-request@mailbase.ac.uk, and
    see if he will post your quesiton to allstat, which is a statistics list.
