“…However, scholars have proposed that political efficacy could be increased via several factors. Nevertheless, many have failed to situate Internet use amongst those factors (Kaye and Johnson 2004;Jennings and Zeitner 2003;Johnson and Kaye 2003;Lina and Lim 2002). When it comes to online participation, political interest and efficacy as motivations of offline political participation were found to be moderated by the effect of Internet proficiency; that is, even when individuals are interested in politics and feel politically efficient, they will not tend to practice politics online if they do not acquire a sufficient level of Internet efficacy (Gennaro and Dutton 2006).…”

The role that social media could play in engaging people in the democratic process has recently gained more attention following the series of mass protests and revolutions that has swept the Arab region starting with Tunisia, then emulated in Egypt, and now taking place in Libya. It has been argued that those revolutions were linked, at least in the preliminary stages, to the active use of social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. This article attempts to shed light on these assertions by reporting some early observations from a study which was conducted immediately prior to the revolution in Egypt. In particular it explores the young activists’ perceptions of the potential of social media for mobilizing activism in authoritarian regimes. It thus helps situating social media (SM) in the spectrum of political engagement by gauging young activists’ motivations for utilizing those outlets for political participation aimed at social and political change. This article relies on a survey of a snowball sample of young Egyptian activists, along with focus group discussions (FGD) also, to seek answers to questions about contextual factors such as media scepticism, political efficacy and fear of authority, which are expected to relate to social media motivations and users’ tendencies to engage in forms of online and offline political participation. The findings indicate that young activists were mainly driven by guidance and surveillance needs in their political utilization of social networking sites. A strong positive correlation between online and offline political participation was also detected.

QIAN, YUXIA, Ph.D., November 2007. Communication Studies A COMMUNICATION MODEL OF EMPLOYEE CYNICISM TOWARD ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE (161 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Tom D. DanielsThe purpose of this study is to develop a communication model of employee cynicism toward organizational change. The few studies on employee cynicism were mainly conducted in the fields of management and psychology. The role of communication in shaping employee cynicism was rarely highlighted. Using the theoretical framework of social information processing (SIP), this study explored the communication variables in the social context which contribute to employee cynicism toward organizational change in a higher education institution. In the model, the three variables reflecting the social context, specifically, perceived quality of information, cynicism of colleagues, trust in the administration, are hypothesized to predict change-specific cynicism, which in turn, leads to intention to resist change.
