“…Moreover, this study offers valuable insights into understanding the changes in the knowledge-sharing process when employees experience social alienation within enterprises. While recent research has indicated that work alienation is often associated with factors such as physical distance in the work environment and educational levels [74], there is limited literature that has explored the influence of alienation on employees' trust and knowledgesharing behavior. Moreover, it is important to note that the recent research has only alluded to the negative impact of SA on KS and primarily regarded it as a mediating variable in the context of psychological ownership of personal knowledge and its relationship with KS [17].…”

This study is based on social exchange theory and the UTAUT model to develop a research model to investigate the impact of motivations under the background of established enterprise social media (ESM) in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Motivations like organization rewards (OR), reciprocal benefits (RB), expectation fulfillment (EF), and job relevance (JR) have different impacts on the following two dimensions of trust: affect-based trust (ABT) and technology-based trust (TBT). This study considers the trust mechanism as the mediator in the relationship between motivations and knowledge sharing (KS). It also demonstrates the psychological element of social alienation (SA) as a moderator that influences trust level and its inhibitory effect on knowledge sharing within the organization. The authors in this study collected data from managers and employees in seven enterprises, including three retail enterprises and four information technology (IT) enterprises in China through three waves. In total, 509 responses were received, and 483 valid data were used to test the research model and hypotheses through the structural equation modeling (SEM) method to evaluate the impact of the potential elements on knowledge-sharing behavior. This research found that motivations like OR and RB promote ABT, thereby encouraging knowledge sharing when employees use ESM. The motivations of EF and JR have a direct effect on TBT, as well as promoting knowledge sharing. Both ABT and TBT have mediating roles between motivations and KS. In addition, the research also revealed the negative moderation effect of SA on the relationship between the two types of trust and KS. Specifically, SA gradually weakens the effects of ABT and TBT on KS, especially when employees are experiencing high levels of SA; ABT and TBT have no impact on KS. This study attempts to advance the theoretical and practical insights of motivations on knowledge sharing by exploring mediating effects of trust mechanisms. It also reveals the importance of SA’s moderation effect on the relationship between trust mechanisms and KS under the application of ESM.

The advent of digital technology has significantly influenced consumer behaviors, especially among college students. This paper delves into the phenomenon of alienation in online consumption among higher vocational students in China, a demographic particularly vulnerable to the allure of virtual retail therapy. Drawing on data collected from five vocational colleges in Jiangxi Province, the study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews to paint a comprehensive picture of students' consumption habits. The emergence of blind consumption, over-consumption, and a propensity for luxury items is evident, driven by a complex interplay of social pressures, emotional needs, and easy access to credit. The paper introduces an Early Warning Model (EWM), designed to detect early signs of consumption alienation and trigger timely interventions. The model integrates various data points, including consumption patterns, social influences, emotional well-being, and financial health, leveraging machine learning algorithms for predictive analytics. Real-life case studies demonstrate the EWM’s efficacy, showcasing its capacity to facilitate positive behavioral change and promote financial literacy.[1] The model not only serves as a crucial tool for educators, counselors, and parents but also lays the groundwork for policy interventions and educational programs aimed at nurturing responsible digital consumers. This research contributes to the existing body of knowledge on online consumption behaviors, providing a targeted analysis of higher vocational students and introducing an innovative solution to mitigate the risks associated with consumption alienation.
