“…In regard to informational social influence, research has shown that people ascribe more technical and behavioral legitimacy to those sources of influence who are seen as more important and influential [78]. Moreover, the higher salience of particular sources of influence can naturally increase the chances for their actions to be seen by others, and as a result, learned and replicated.…”

Employees' compliance with Information Systems Security Policies (ISP) is critical for protecting organizational data. Both the technical side and the social aspects of IT-use were shown to have significant influence on ISP-compliance. However, they have been mostly studied in isolation, despite the literature's emphasis on the socio-technical nature of security. Also, while the technical side has been extensively explored, there is a scarcity of research on the social mechanisms that underlie ISP-compliance. Here, we aim at bridging the gap between the technical and social sides of compliance. We also build upon Social Impact Theory to provide a more nuanced understanding of the social influence on ISP-compliance. We suggest that transparency of use is associated with the three pivotal elements of social influence, namely, perceived strength, immediacy, and number of influencing sources, which trigger normative and informational forces towards compliance. The influence of organizational ISP-compliance culture is also discussed.

“…Morton Deutsch and Harold Gerard reported two psychological needs that guid humans to behave according to the assumptions of others. These involve our need to be right (informational social influence) and our need to be liked (normative social influence) (Mugny, Souchet, Codaccioni, & Quiamzade, 2008). Informational influence (or social proof) refers to an impact to accept information from another as confirmation about reality.…”

The main purpose of this research is to develop a way for identification of informal leaders in the organizations by Dematel technique. For this purpose, firstly the components of social influence of informal leaders in the organizations have been identified based on the review of the related literature. Using the idea of masters and pundits in psychology, management, and exploitation of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), we identified the local weight of social influence criterions of informal leaders. Finally, by calculating inconsistency rate, the reliability of criterions' pairwise comparisons was approved. After this stage, a questionnaire was prepared to calculate the measure of social influence of spastic sample and was delivered to participants. By the use of scores obtained from questionnaire and Dematel technique, participants ranked on the basis of the highest social influence.

“…People construct representations or images of ideas acquired in dialogic and social interactions to make sense of social reality. Group members, regardless of rank or social status, exert social influence through the structure and content of representations; minorities relying on persistent and consistent behaviour in the group to exert influence (Moscovici, 1976;Mugny et al, 2008). The development of a social psychology of knowledge was theorised by Moscovici who studied the diffusion of psychoanalytical ideas from the offices of clinicians in France to their acceptance by social groups (Moscocivi, 1976;Thommen, 2008).…”

Newspaper Representation of the Debates in the 2007 Jamaican General Election Campaign

This article deconstructs the newspaper representations of three debates held in 2007 during the Jamaican General Election campaign. The theory of social representation is used in this article to explain political behaviour and outcomes. Representations are the images, words, symbols or phrases that are generated from people's dialogic interaction that signify meanings. Content analysis of relevant articles covering the electoral campaign in the main print media in Jamaica forms the empirical basis for study. The majority of representations of the three main debates were negative, revealing that political manifestos were largely ignored and policy funding was not addressed. Significant issues such as crime, education, health, garrison politics, corruption and unemployment were inadequately addressed, and the wider global context of these matters was ignored. The consensus was that the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) won two of the three debates, notably the leadership debate in which the Leader of the Opposition, Bruce Golding MP, performed more effectively than the then current Prime Minister, Portia Simpson‐Miller of the People's National Party (PNP). Social representation theory is used to assess the types of political meanings generated by media coverage during the General Election. It is suggested that the perceived success of the JLP candidates in the main debates was an important contribution to the party's overall electoral victory.
