“…Future research should investigate moderating and mediating variables that are associated with social network utilization and macroeconomic stability and prosperity. In the study, we presented a linear relationship between social network adoption and various country‐level resources (i.e., technological resources), but prior research suggest an interdependent relationship may exist among the predictors (Larosiliere et al, ) and between macroeconomic conditions and technological infrastructure (Larosiliere, ; Larosiliere & Carter, ). By further expanding upon the results of the post‐hoc analysis (see Table ), future studies can examine the relationship between social network utilization levels and macroeconomic condition, as well as possible interdependent relationships among the predictors for countries with high levels of social network utilization.…”

“…With the rise of technological innovations over the last decade, information systems (IS) researchers have identified influencing factors and reasons for the adoption of these innovations in diverse contexts, such as e‐Business and e‐Government (Boyd & Ellison, ; Krishnan et al, ; Richter et al, ; Swanson, ). However, SNS research is still in its early stages, with only few studies (i.e., Krishnan et al, ; Larosiliere, Meske, & Carter, ; Sun & Wang, ) focusing on SNS adoption at the national level. In this study we explore the relationship between SNS adoption and three major internal resources (technological, organizational, and environmental) at the national level.…”

This study explores the main determinants of social network adoption at the country level. We use the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework to investigate factors influencing social network adoption. The authors use cross-sectional data from 130 countries. The results indicate that social network adoption, at the country level, is positively influenced by the technological maturity, public readiness, and information and communication technology law sophistication. Technological, organizational, and environmental factors altogether accounted for 67% of variance in social network adoption. These findings provide a first insight into the usage of social network sites at the country level, as well as the main factors that influence public adoption. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

“…Environmental dynamism relates to the absence of patterns and the unpredictability of change. In other cases, country-level factors such as internet adoption, human development, and ICT laws and regulations facilitate the adoption and use of social networking systems [76,77].

Nonprofit organisations use social networking platforms to interact, engage, and build productive relationships with target audiences for co-created outcomes. This chapter pursues two interrelated objectives: First, it identifies key stages in the growth of organisation-community relationships on co-creative social networking platforms. Second, it discusses the multi-levelled factors influencing these relationships at the respective stages. To achieve these objectives, we make a general review of scholarship on nonprofit use of social media, social networking platforms for co-creation, and organisation-public relationships on social media. We used the ecological systems perspective to identify the internal and external environmental influences on organisational relationships in social networking platforms. This chapter presents three abstract stages of organisation-community relationships: emergence, growth, and collapse, based on existing empirical observations and theoretical perspectives. We reveal four levels of ecological-based factors that influence different stages of organisation-community relationships on co-creative social networking platforms. We indicate the potentially strong and weaker influences on organisational relationships.

“…To explain the adoption of technologies and systems, several researchers have applied the TOE framework in the context of various domains, for example in terms of the adoption of complex innovations [39], in electronic data interchange [9], in open systems [7], as well as in association with Internet [40], e-Business ( [41]; [42]), e-Procurement [43], RFID ( [44]; [45]) or Social Networking Sites [46]. Moreover it was used to explain the acceptance of IT-systems in public organizations.…”
