“…, 2021c). Particularly, poor financial well-being has been proven to threaten young working adults' self-identities and is strongly associated with their low workplace performance (Dwivedi and Lewis, 2021). Additionally, past literature reveals that heavy exposure to SNS has an adverse impact on individuals' financial behaviors, such as online buying (Pahlevan Sharif et al.…”

“…, 2021). For instance, a study suggests that overuse of SNS creates a tendency for young working adults to fabric a “rich” image of themselves on SNS to combat the threats over self-identities (Dwivedi and Lewis, 2021). In this study, we suggest that excessive SNS use reconstructs and reaffirms the cognitive financial beliefs (Schunk and DiBenedetto, 2020) (i.e.…”

PurposeThis study aimed to investigate the mediating role of financial attitude and perceived behavioral control with financial behavior in the association between excessive use of social networking sites (SNSs) and financial well-being among working millennials.Design/methodology/approachA crossed-sectional survey was used to obtain data through a self-administered questionnaire. A total of 485 working millennials (M age = 32.28, years, SD age = 4.75) in Malaysia participated in the study based on a purposive sampling technique. Covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) was used to evaluate the measurement model and the proposed serial mediation model.FindingsThe findings of this study revealed that excessive use of SNS is negatively associated with financial well-being. Also, the findings suggested that financial attitude and perceived behavioral with financial behavior serially mediated the negative relationship between excessive use of SNS and financial well-being, respectively.Practical implicationsSeveral implications were suggested and discussed to prevent the negative impact of excessive SNS use on financial well-being among young working adults. Policymakers and financial service providers (e.g. banks) can draw from the findings by constantly framing and delivering their messages to increase the young working adults' awareness of pitfalls of excessive use of innovative technologies on their financial attitudes and self-control over their behaviors and financial well-being.Originality/valueThis study entails some new insights on examining the impact of excessive use of SNS on working millennials' financial well-being as well as the underlying mechanisms behind this phenomenon.

Social news sites have enabled news identification and its promotion through crowdsourcing and provided users with the capabilities to discuss topics. Compared to social media, social news sites are information-rich and possess their own social network. Reddit has been classified as a social news website and possesses similar characteristics to other websites in the domain. These include Slashdot, Digg, and StumbleUpon. This paper provides a broad analysis of spectators' sentimental (or emotional) behaviour surrounding the 2020 Summer Olympics on Reddit. The study measures the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on spectator sentiments and proposes a scheme for sensitising Redditors' behaviour by crowdsourcing the influencers present in the Redditor pool.

“…Millennials refers to the group of people who were born between 1980 to 2000 and are digital natives. This generation is also seen as digital natives as they spend a significant amount of time on social media for communication, social connection, entertainment, content creation and sharing as well as to keep themselves updated with current events (Dwivedi & Lewis, 2020). As a consequence, compared to other generations, millennials are more amenable to ethical issues and are environmentally conscious (Bedard & Tolmie, 2018).…”

Lack of pro-environmental behaviours from the millennials can be detrimental to current attempts to preserve the environment. However, these millennials do trust their opinion leaders who consist of social influencers. Thus, social influencers play an important role in projecting pro-environmental behaviours and persuading their followers in embracing proenvironmental behaviours. Pro-environmental behaviours can be elicited from the millennials from their opinion leaders. The paper employed a qualitative case study to investigate social influencers' narrative persuasion in eliciting pro-environmental behaviours from their followers. Two social influencers who were language educators participated in the study. These social influencers had more than 1000 followers on their social media accounts. Data were taken from online observation and semi-structured interviews. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Peer debriefing was used to increase trustworthiness. The findings indicated that these social influencers used narrative transportation, identification and emotions to persuade their followers to exhibit pro-environmental behaviours. Each informant had the environmental issues that they championed and had a deep personal attachment with the issue. They were more concerned with engaging fellow citizens to be more responsible consumers and conserve the environment. They were aware of local and global environmental concerns.
