“…It is clear that most companies in the Dead Sea cosmetic sector in Jordan are limited liability companies (60%), while the least is public shareholding (17%), and most of them considered as medium-size companies (52%), this indicates that this industry is still small with the ability to be developed more alongside with the support from the Jordanian government. Also, there is a high social media usage among limited liability companies unusually medium and relatively new companies which could be owing to hiring young and new graduate employees "millennials" who are social media enthusiasts and concerned of implementing there social media expert on their work and reflecting the new university education which includes a lot of educational materials regarding E-business, E-marketing, E-commerce (Cho et al, 2013).

Due to the current debate on the positives and negatives of social media, most of the organizations are in an unclear state regarding the adoption of social media. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to extend previous research on social media use comprising three variables: social media for marketing, social media for customer's relations and services, and social media for information accessibility and its impact on organizational performance in terms of rapid adaptation, time to market, cost reduction, and innovation in Jordan. The paper analyzed data obtained from a sample of 169 managers working at 23 different organizations in Dead Sea cosmetic sector in Jordan using a quantitative approach. Structural equation modelling used to test the hypotheses. Results showed that there is a strong positive impact of implementing and using social media on organizational performance in terms of rapid adaptation, cost reduction, and innovation. Also, social media usage is different among the companies' characteristics in terms of type, age, and size. This paper offers a clearer understanding of the importance of social media and its benefits. Also, this paper is one of the first studies conducted in Jordan and especially within the Dead Sea cosmetic sector by demonstrating the different areas of organizational performance that can be enhanced by using social media in different ways.

“…Regardless of gender, age, education, or work role, increased employee competence in using social media in a way that avoids harm to their co‐workers and employer, as well as to their own careers, leads to the mitigation of feelings of violation toward the employer and encourages online brand citizenship behaviour by building online social capital. Millennial employees, for example, seek much greater socialisation and engagement on social media, the impact of which on workplace attitudes and behaviour is neither fully understood nor straightforward to understand (Bolton et al, 2013; Cho et al, 2013; Smith & Gallicano, 2015). Many organisations assume that their employees, especially younger generations, readily possess competencies relating to social media (Hershatter & Epstein, 2010).…”

Despite the significant and increasing influence of social media on employees' work lives, there is limited focus on employees' social media competencies from an employer branding or internal marketing perspective. Building on social identity and social exchange theories, this paper links employees' social media competence to an increase in online brand citizenship behaviour and reduction in feelings of psychological contract violation towards their employer's brand. We also examine the distinct mediatory effects of two forms of online social capital—bonding mediates the influence of employee social media competence on online brand citizenship and feelings of psychological contract violation, whilst Bridging only mediates the effect of social media competence on feelings of psychological contract violation. In doing so, we contribute to extant literature in two ways: (1) Address the need for research on social media in relation to employer branding; and (2) highlight the importance of building employee‐to‐employee and employee‐to‐employer relationships by virtual means in the context of employer branding. Therefore, this paper responds to calls for research that advances more responsible approaches to employer branding and internal marketing; that is, approaches that take into account employee competencies (emphasise need for skill development) as well as wellbeing (emphasise need for support).
