“…While a couple of studies also revealed the positive side of social media (for instance, Lu et al 2015), most were seen discussing its ill-effects on work outputs, routine performance, and clash of notions in the personal and professional space (for instance, Ali-Hassan et al 2015). About seven studies were interested in exploring the relationship between social media use and value creation (for instance, Barrett et al 2016) in terms of firm equity, customer retention, social position, and firm value (2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016).…”

“…Wu (2013) suggests information-rich networks enabled by social media tend to drive job security and employee performance. Lu et al (2015) use the social network theory to conclude that structural and cognitive dimensions of social relationships positively impact job performance. Ali-Hassan et al (2015) show social and cognitive use of social media has a positive influence on employee performance, while hedonic use of social media leaves a negative impact on routine performance.…”

Social media comprises communication websites that facilitate relationship forming between users from diverse backgrounds, resulting in a rich social structure. User generated content encourages inquiry and decision-making. Given the relevance of social media to various stakeholders, it has received significant attention from researchers of various fields, including information systems. There exists no comprehensive review that integrates and synthesises the findings of literature on social media. This study discusses the findings of 132 papers (in selected IS journals) on social media and social networking published between 1997 and 2017. Most papers reviewed here examine the behavioural side of social media, investigate the aspect of reviews and recommendations, and study its integration for organizational purposes. Furthermore, many studies have investigated the viability of online communities/social media as a marketing medium, while others have explored various aspects of social media, including the risks associated with its use, the value that it creates, and the negative stigma attached to it within workplaces. The use of social media for information sharing during critical events as well as for seeking and/ or rendering help has also been investigated in prior research. Other contexts include political and public administration, and the comparison between traditional and social media. Overall, our study identifies multiple emergent themes in the existing corpus, thereby furthering our understanding of advances in social media research. The integrated view of the extant literature that our study presents can help avoid duplication by future researchers, whilst offering fruitful lines of enquiry to help shape research for this emerging field.

“…Gross (2004) states that online social networks can encourage introvert people to communicate with others, decreasing social anxiety and facilitating the development of positive relationships within and outside the workspace. Similarly, Lu et al (2015) argue that social networks have a positive effect on work because employees can achieve a higher level of balance between their personal and work dimensions, since it also reduces family and friend's conflicts because of constant contact with them.…”

“…Zhang and Venkatesh (2013) state that networks can pose a risk to businesses since their productivity can be influenced by them. Nevertheless, these authors suggest that the proper use of social networks can be useful for the company since it can help build a rapport with employees taking into consideration that online social tools, such as corporate blogs, have different effects on work performance (Andreassen, Torsheim, & Pallesen, 2014;Lu et al, 2015;Sledgianowski & Kulviwat, 2009). According to the previously cited authors, employees with a high performance state that the impact of these tools is positive, since they are used to share knowledge, thus improving the performance of the organization.…”

The use of online social networks in the workplace environment has grown exponentially. Based on social exchange theory, the goal of this research is to identify possible associations between job satisfaction and motivation, perceived organizational support and the perception of employees regarding the use of social networks in the working environment. We used a survey that was applied to 294 employees for manufacturing companies located in the northwest borderline between Mexico and the United States. The findings suggest that the use of online social networks in the workplace has a positive effect regarding job satisfaction becoming useful for the organization.

Enterprise social media (ESM) fosters knowledge sharing, but employee's participation in ESM typically wanes. Thus, monetary incentives are often used to solve this problem. This research examined the effect of monetary incentives on four types of knowledge (high‐quality and low‐quality, work‐related and non‐work‐related) and the mediating role of self‐efficacy. Using quasi‐experimental approach to analyze data from an internal company blog, the research indicates that monetary incentives do have impacts on stimulating knowledge contribution, although their effectiveness appears to vary with the type of knowledge. Besides, self‐efficacy could be evoked by monetary incentives and mediate between monetary incentives and knowledge contribution.
