“…Media synchronicity theory (MST) (Dennis et al 2008;Dennis and Valacich 1999) was coined based on a critique of the simplicity with which tasks are conceptualized within MRT; hence, while the theory still conceptualizes media in a similar way, in the logic of MST media capabilities should match the needs of more fundamental communication processes (Dennis and Valacich 1999, p. 6). Moreover, there are other approaches that follow a similar logic, such as the task-ori-BISE -RESEARCH PAPER ented media choice model (Reichwald et al 1998, p. 59).…”

“…The media synchronicity theory (MST) was developed by Dennis et al (2008) to explain the role of technology in enhancing employee performance. MST focuses on the capability of information technology to support and enhance synergy and collaboration between individuals working to achieve the same goals (Dennis et al 2008).…”

“…The capabilities of the medium will influence the use or misuse of the medium and, in the end, will have a direct effect on communication performance [9]. Furthermore, the theory refers to a set of media features rather than to specific media tools.…”
