The present study examined the impact of structural holes and network
closure on the academic performance of female students in an academic
advice network. Data was collected from 182 female students of a public
sector university in Baluchistan through the network (socio metric)
questionnaire of name generators for egocentric network. Techniques of
correlation and multiple linear regression analysis were employed to test
the hypotheses. After controlling the effect of different variables (age,
background education and parental education), the results revealed that
network rich in structural holes was more productive then network
closure in students’ academic advice network. These results have
practical implications for students’ academic life enabling the students to
reap the benefits of the diverse and non-redundant knowledge in their
academic advice network structure by the virtue of spanning structural
holes and consequently achieve better academic performance.
