Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to find out impact of social networking like Facebook, Twitter, Slideshare, Linkedin, etc at employees performance.Design/methodology/approach: Model presented in this article which shows the function and format of working of key variables. Model showed that social networking affect the productivity, skills, knowledge, productivity and motivational level of employees of banks. Data is collected from different bank's employees so that the real scenario can be presented. Data collected from The Bank of Punjab Pakistan, National Bank of Pakistan and Habib Bank of Pakistan.Findings: This study shows that social networking become an integral part of everyone's life and have a strong impact. Social networking affects working situations of employees of banks too. For exploring key issue literature of different authors was studied and thoroughly discussed. Views of different authors and personalities (which as having high designations in well reputed organizations) presented in this article. Correlation and Regression analysis is done for primary collected data. Practical implications:It showed that using of social networking have strong impact on Business Management and Strategy ISSN 2157-6068 2014 www.macrothink.org/bms 140 employee performance. Social networking by employee's affect their skills/ability, knowledge/qualification, productivity/outcomes and motivation level.Originality: This paper identifies the social networking needs of employees and its usage for better performance. It provides bases for organizations to use social network for their employee performance in interesting ways rather than boring and typical training programs.

Herein, we report a simple and ecofriendly synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) employing Digera muricata along with bioassay studies of synthesized NPs. The ZnO NPs obtained were indicated by a colour change from yellow to almost faint yellow giving whitish tinge and supported by the appearance of UV-Vis band at 373 nm and were characterized by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The FT-IR spectrum confirmed the presence of biomolecules fabricated on ZnO NPs as indicated by the absorption bands at 1,378 for C–O  cm−1, and ZnO NPs were also evident from the absorption bands at 440 and 670 cm−1, the former being the result of symmetric vibration of hexagonal ZnO and the latter belonged to a very weak vibration of ZnO. Its surface morphology was confirmed by SEM, and the zinc and oxygen bonds were confirmed by EDX analysis giving sharp signals for Zn and oxygen with At% of 17.58 and 30.49, respectively. The antimicrobial activity of ZnO nanoparticles was determined by the agar well diffusion method against pathogenic bacterial and fungal strains using imipenem and miconazole as standards. The results reflected that ZnO NPs enhanced the activity of plant extracts against all employed algal (E. coli, S. faecalis, P. aeruginosa, K. pneumonia, S. aureus, and B. subtilis) and fungal (T. mentogrophytes, E. floccosum, A. niger, M. canis, and F. culmorum) strains. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of extracts were enhanced by the formation of ZnO NPs. The results indicated that Digera muricata extract contains effective reducing agents for green synthesis of Digera muricata fabricated ZnO NPs, which are more potent antimicrobial than the plant extract and showed almost similar inhibition against lipoxygenase, i.e., the IC50 value of 83.82 ± 1.15, comparable to the standard.
