“…The majority of respondents gave a score of 4 in Q2 to Q9, indicating a positive attitude towards intercultural contact through social networking sites. This finding echoes previous research revealing that intercultural contact is positively correlated to networking sites in language learning (Kalia et al, 2019). However, in Q1, most respondents gave a score of 2, indicating that they have limited intercultural contact through social networking sites.…”

Objective: The present study aims to explore the relationship between EFL students' intercultural contact through social networking sites and their L2 motivation. Method: To do so, a number of 162 university students participated in answering three sets of questionnaires. A regression analysis identified correlations between L2 motivation and intercultural engagement through social networking sites during the learning process. Results and Discussion: Instagram and YouTube were determined to be the primary sources of intercultural contact among Indonesian EFL students. The study also revealed a substantial relationship between intercultural contact, the L2 motivational self-system, and its constituents. Originality/Value: Based on the findings, this study suggests that teachers employ social networking sites as often as possible in classroom activities to engage students with meaningful learning in their target language.

“…The existence of national culture‐driven attitudes, social perceptions, preferences, and behavioural responses is best exemplified by the take‐up of social networking sites (SNS), such as Facebook. The adoption and usage patterns of SNS, arguably among the most strategic players in the globalization processes of the past decade or so – available and much used as they are worldwide, and of a particular appeal to millennials, too – have nevertheless repeatedly been found to be in many ways country‐specific (Jackson & Wang, 2013; Kalia, Ben Dahmane Mouelhi, Tebessi Hachana, Malek, & Dahmen, 2019; Kim, Sohn, & Choi, 2011; Makri & Schlegelmilch, 2017; Ozer, Karpinski, & Kirschner, 2014; Sheldon, Rauschnabel, Antony, & Car, 2017).…”

National comparisons of early career researchers' scholarly communication attitudes and behaviours

The paper compares the scholarly communication attitudes and practices of early career researchers (ECRs) in eight countries concerning discovery, reading, publishing, authorship, open access, and social media. The data are taken from the most recent investigation in the 4-year-long Harbingers project. A survey was undertaken to establish whether the scholarly communication behaviours of the new wave of researchers are uniform, progressing, or changing in the same overall direction or whether they are impacted significantly by national and cultural differences. A multilingual questionnaire hosted on SurveyMonkey was distributed in 2019 via social media networks of researchers, academic publishers, and key ECR platforms in the UK,

“…Although there have been studies focusing on eWOM engagement on SNSs, the context of emerging economies has been largely overlooked. Given that consumer behaviour on SNSs is still in its infancy (Kalia et al, 2019), further studies are needed to develop the knowledge from distinct sociodemographic, national, and geographic perspectives. Future studies could address the moderating role of demographic factors towards second-order constructs (seeking, giving, and passing on opinions).…”

Electronic Word of Mouth (eWOM) engagement on social networking sites (SNSs) is influenced by social relationship factors and this influence is assumed to be consistent. This study investigates the effects of social relationship variables in the context of emerging economies. It also observes the mediating role of social relationship variables in the relationship between conformity and eWOM. We hypothesized a moderating role of age, gender, and country of residence. The results revealed that social ties, trust, and interpersonal influence exert consistent impact and that conformity exerts positive indirect influence on eWOM engagement via social ties, trust, social capital, and interpersonal influence. It was found that age, gender moderate the observed relationship, while country plays no moderating role. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
