definition: Networking refers to a set of behaviors used to develop and maintain relationships that can potentially provide information, influence, guidance, and support to individuals in their careers. Actively maintaining contacts inside and outside of one's organization, engaging in professional and community activities, and increasing one's organizational visibility through accepting challenging work assignments are examples of networking behaviors.
