Overview

Two studies reveal how social media influences employee emotions and behaviors, suggesting implications for workplace dynamics.

Key Points

  • Social media content significantly affects employee emotions, influencing their work-goal progress and social withdrawal.
  • Employees' perceptions of social media posts begat emotions like self-assurance and anxiety, with measurable impacts on behavior.
  • Using a multi-wave experience sampling method, two separate 10-day studies provided evidence supporting the proposed effects.
  • Trait competitiveness influences the relationship between perceptions of social media content and emotional responses.
