“…It is worth noting that relationships developed on PVCs may lead to very serious organizational harm. For example, competitor employees or consultants with false identities can gain the confidence of PMs with the goal of eventually obtaining mission-critical, proprietary information used for gaining competitive advantage for themselves or others (Bressler and Bressler, 2014). The use of social media to gather competitive intelligence (CI) has become an important business strategy (New York Times, 1999; Rappaport, 2011; He et al ., 2015; Hassani and Mosconi, 2022) in the multi-billion-dollar CI market (Reuters, 2001) and the approximately $6 trillion per year industrial espionage market (Cybersecurity Ventures, 2020).…”

Purpose This research explores project manager (PM) behavior in their professional virtual communities (PVCs), using social identity theory as a theoretical foundation. The purpose is to examine the extent to which PMs seek information on key topics in the Project Management Body of Knowledge Guide (PMBoK).Design/methodology/approach A text data analytics methodology that uses quantitative and qualitative analysis techniques is followed. The research method reveals relationships in language-based data gathered from six project management forums and blogs.Findings Information related to all the PMBoK topics is sought in the project management virtual communities. People management topics account for a dominant portion of interactions. The findings enhance social identification theorizing for the PM role. From a practical standpoint, the findings shed light on focal areas for greater emphasis in PM PVCs.Originality/value Our people management finding constructively replicates existing findings via a large, global sample and strengthens calls for increased focus on people management matters in project management. As a result, we call for increased scholarly attention to people management in project management. Finally, we encourage pursuit of several research questions to enhance knowledge of PM information-seeking behavior.

“…Mrozinski's acknowledgement of being a #doctor and #healthcareworker may be a conscious ethical move; one study actually recommends that health professionals ‘properly identify their credentials on [social media]’ (Bressler et al, 2021, p. 7). By reminding social media followers of his health professional status, Mrozinski can distinguish himself from individuals without medical qualifications who are promoting misinformation.…”

Public health pedagogy and digital misinformation: Health professional influencers and the politics of expertise

This article asks: ‘To what extent can health professional influencers function as health pedagogues, educating their audiences and protecting public health in an era of digital misinformation?’ The article teases out that question by applying Content Analysis and Framing Analysis to a selection of TikTok and Instagram posts by Dr Michael Mrozinski, a Scottish general practitioner who is based in Australia. The posts seek to debunk online misinformation and provide facts regarding COVID-19. Mrozinski's social media content exemplifies what the article terms ‘public health pedagogy’ (PHP) – pedagogy that is informed by public health principles and that is undertaken outside traditional educational institutions. The article also asks: ‘How exactly does Mrozinski respond to misinformation actors and to what extent does this diminish the effectiveness of his PHP?’ The article investigates whether Mrozinski's hostility towards these actors actually invokes stereotypes of medical experts as elitist and uncaring. Those stereotypes are commonly expounded by misinformation and conspiracy actors.
