“…These two sub-dimensions respectively capture different aspects of communication visibility. Message transparency emphasizes the visibility of communication contents, which helps increase employees' meta-knowledge about "who knows what" [19,21]; network translucence emphasizes the visibility of communication networks and connections, which helps increase employees' metaknowledge about "who knows whom" [19,21]. Specifically, message transparency makes it easy for employees to see the content posted on the ESM and even the exchanged messages among their colleagues [62].…”

“…Network translucence indicates that ESM enables employees to make their communication network public and visible to other colleagues, and it allows third parties to observe and infer connections among other employees [6,62]. Network translucence not only helps employees understand more clearly how colleagues and activities are related to each other [6] but also provides a major way for employees to establish, enhance, and maintain their social relationships [21,70].…”

“…Adopting the perspective of technology affordances helps provide a comprehensive explanation of why, when, and how ESM affects individual behavior [17,18]. Also, some studies indicate that the most unique affordance of ESM is communication visibility [19][20][21][22], which includes message transparency and network translucency, whereby users can easily see the communication information and the communication network of their colleagues. Some scholars regard visibility as the root affordance, which is the basis for the existence of other affordances [23].…”

Excessive Enterprise Social Media Use Behavior at Work: Role of Communication Visibility and Perspective of Uses and Gratifications Theory

2020

As the popularity of enterprise social media (ESM) increases in organizations, recent studies have shown that ESM may be excessively used at work, triggering negative consequences for employees and organizations. Drawing on uses and gratifications theory (UGT), we propose a theoretical model to test how the communication visibility-message transparency and network translucence-enabled by ESM affects employees' excessive use of ESM at work by satisfying their different needs (i.e., social, content, and hedonic needs); the gratifications of these needs are reflected through employees' perceived values, including perceived social, information, and hedonic values. We analyzed a valid sample consisted of 301 Chinese employees using ESM through smart-PLS to verify the model. The data analysis results indicate that both message transparency and network translucence are positively correlated with employees' perceived social, information, and hedonic values. Perceived social value and perceived information value exert positive influences on excessive ESM use by employees, whereas perceived hedonic value has no significant effect on employees' excessive use of ESM. The findings also show that the relationship between ESM communication visibility affordance and employees' excessive ESM use is fully mediated by their perceived social value and perceived information value. These findings enrich the existing research on ESM and excessive use behavior and help inspire organizations to guide and manage the use of ESM by employees.

“…with high levels of demands or work load (for example, [28][29][30]), low control over work, or the degree of autonomy in the application of labor decisions (for example, [31][32][33]). In addition, the low level of support perceived by colleagues or supervisors also influences (for example, [27,34]). The literature in general terms suggests that a low family-work balance is related to lower job satisfaction, higher turnover intentions, exhaustion, and deterioration of health [35,36], and a high family-work balance is related to higher levels of professional commitment and lower intentions to leave the profession [28,37,38].…”

The balance of personal life with professional life is a topical issue that is increasingly worrisome due to globalization, the rapid introduction of new technologies into all areas of human life, the overlap between time between work and family, new organizational systems, and changes in the nature of work. This problem is accentuated by professions subjected to intense labor demands, as is the case of nurses. Adopting the Job Demand–Control–Support model, the main purpose of this research is to analyze how these factors lead to a greater or lesser degree of work–life balance. The research proposes a logistic regression model, which was constructed with a sample of 991 nursing professionals from the V European Working Conditions Survey. The results obtained confirm, on the one hand, that there is a significant effect of physical demands (but not psychological demands) on work–life balance. On the other hand, the moderating effects of job control are partially confirmed for psychological demands, and those of supervisor support (but not co-worker support) are partially confirmed for physical demands. In conclusion, the present research shows that effective management of nurses’ work context can decisively contribute to finding the difficult balance between personal and professional time.

Knowledge and innovation management in agribusiness: A study in the Dominican Republic

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

To date and worldwide, most business activities in the agribusiness sectors have focused on increasing productive efficiency to the detriment of the environmental impact of these activities, despite close connection that exist between agribusinesses and natural resources. This paper argues that knowledge and innovation management (KIM) can play a key role in fostering and managing creativity in the agribusiness sector. To test this assumption, an empirical model linking KIM with employee creativity, responsible green innovation, and performance in the agribusiness sector of the Dominican Republic is proposed and tested with data from 110 agribusiness companies. We found that strengthening the relationships between the above constructs is needed, with a view to readjusting the meaning of firm performance in the light of emerging (post-pandemic) circumstances for agribusinesses. The statistical analyses yield important implications and recommendations for practice, management, and policy making in these areas in this country and elsewhere.
