With the pervasive use of social media (SM) in organizations, it is regarded as a relevant driver that can influence an employee’s job performance. This study fills in the gap that extends the job performance concept by discovering the role of SM in innovative performance in introducing new ideas beyond standard specifications to produce novel and valuable organizational outcomes. By adopting the social capital theory (SCT), the present study investigates the roles of social media use at work in predicting social capital (network ties, shared vision, and trust) that might promote work engagement and subsequently affect employees’ innovative job performance. The data was collected through an online survey, and 291 Malaysian employees participated. The partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique was applied in data analysis for the measurement model and structural model used in this study. Findings show that SM use at work significantly predicts network ties, shared vision, and trust. Besides, network ties and trust positively promoted work engagement except for shared vision. Subsequently, work engagement was associated with innovative job performance. This study provides theoretical and practical implications for extending knowledge, as well as mitigating plans and efforts to resolve employees’ performance concerning the issues of SM use at work.
Social media applications have increasingly become a valuable platform for personal communication and knowledge sharing in working life. Several researchers have considered the direct role of social media usage in influencing job performance. However, limited studies explore how social media use may impact employees’ job performance, especially in innovativeness. Moreover, inconsistencies in the findings exist in the literature regarding whether social media improves employees’ job performance or causes harm. By adapting the stressor–strain–outcome (SSO) model, the present study investigates how WhatsApp use at work can predict social media overloads that might induce technostress and, subsequently, affect employees’ innovative job performance. Thus, 206 Malaysian employees from the government and private sectors participated in this study and the data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings show that social media, predominantly WhatsApp, used at work has a mild but statistically significant influence on information overload, communication overload, and social overload. In addition, information overload and communication overload positively influence technostress, except for social overload. Subsequently, technostress does not have an impact on innovative job performance. This study provides theoretical and practical implications for extending the knowledge and mitigating plans and efforts to improve employees’ performance at work. Therefore, this study helps mitigate the dearth of research pertaining to the roles of social media use at work on employees’ innovative job performance.
Addiction toward social media has become a new norm, especially among young adolescent. Social media users in Malaysia accounted to nearly 20 million, more than half of the population. Some individual having more than one account in different social media platform. With the increasing prevalent of social media addiction among young adolescent, this study ought to identify what are the critical factors that can influence one addiction toward social media. Based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) and flow-happiness theory, this study would like to unfold this issue and connect the possible factors that play critical role in user’s social media addiction based on its detrimental impact. Using partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM), this study applies the quantitative study by testing the antecedents of social media addition. 217 respondents who are mainly university students responded to the survey. It was found that the most critical factor is perceived ease of use on perceived usefulness and subsequently attitude. The second most critical path is user’s enjoyment toward satisfaction. Surprisingly, perceived usefulness towards habit and attitude toward social media addiction itself was not significant. This study would help practitioners to implement mitigating strategy to reduce social media addiction young adolescent, especially those who studying in school and higher education institution.
The purpose of this paper is to address the new invention - Widad Psychetra Door (WPD) on how re-generate low costing instrument of psychology games (combining perceptual illusions and active focus repetitive behavior) to Re-Instrumental Scale for basic Personality Test among teenagers’ personality. This study is conducted to identify the perception of the 10 adolescents from their own experiential testing of WPD. This research used a qualitative methodology through interviewed and data was analysed used content analysis with 10 respondents in age range between adolescent are 14 to 16 years old. The segmented difficulty level shape and vision experiences is based on five factor model (Agreeableness) and their satisfaction which segmented can be the best analogues in future application (apps) of WPD. The result shown the level of satisfaction is higher in third segmented and majority of respondents highly perceived this WPD can be applied as one of the application games (apps).
Smartphone use has changed the landscape of technology. People are more concerned with their smartphone use than being physically attached to their surroundings, which has led to scholars on studies in smartphone addiction. This study aims to understand the link between personality traits of young adolescents and fear of missing out in relation to smartphone addiction. A partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) is applied in testing the proposed hypotheses relationship. A total of 210 respondents consisting of young adolescents, primarily higher education students, participated in the study. It was discovered that among the five personality traits, extraversion and neuroticism were found to be significant on fear of missing out. While fear of missing out has the most significant influence on adolescent smartphone addiction, implications towards theoretical and managerial aspects are discussed and elaborated.
