New research paper on employee blogging
I've just come across a paper published earlier this year on employee blogging.
General details can be found here.
Some details of the study (provided by Business Wire):
The authors looked at bloggers in Fortune 500 IT consulting and services companies that permitted both leisure- and work-related blogging, and studied work environments where the company prohibits leisurely blogging.
They found that when organizations put restrictions on leisure blogging, online work-related knowledge sharing decreases.
The authors believe this happens because creating social media content at work not only helps employees to educate those seeking information, but also helps them build social relationships in the workplace.
An employee can attract fellow employees to his blog with an entertaining or leisure post and, because work-related posts are on the same page, there is a spillover effect with people reading work-related articles.
The actual paper can be found here: A Structural Model of Employee Behavioral Dynamics in Enterprise Social Media by Yan Huang, Param Vir Singh and Anindya Ghose.

New research paper on employee use of Web 2.0 communication technology
I've just finished a rough draft of a paper I will presenting at a conference later this week.
I'm making it available on my blog in the hope that it some might read it and offer me their opinions on my ideas.
The paper is similar to the one I wrote earlier this year on work blogging, which went through a similar reviewing process, and is now being reviewed for an academic journal.
In as few words as possible, the paper is about employees increasingly pursuing their employment-related interests through Web 2.0 communication technology, e.g. career development and job search, e-activism, e-misbehaviour, and when at work doing what workers are supposed to do!
It is called - Workers are doing it for themselves: Examining creative employee application of Web 2.0 communication technology - and available for download here.
The abstract of the paper is as follows:
The paper should be of interest to academics, trade unionists, employers and governmental officials who have an interest in new forms of Web communication technology and how new Web communication technologies may affect the future direction of industrial relations.
The main foci of the paper is Web 2.0, or the recent transformation of the World-Wide-Web to allow ordinary people to get involved in creating on-line content (e.g. blogs, wikis and social networking platforms), and, increasing evidence that non-organized workers are applying this new wave of communication technologies for work and employment-related ends.
It is put forward that non-organized workers are progressively making more use of such technology as a means to develop their careers, take action against employers, and, as a mean to misbehave and survive work.
The method applied to assess the proposed trends involves reviewing scholarly research, anecdotal accounts of worker activity from newspapers, and observations of Internet activity noted by the author of the paper.
The conclusions suggest there is superficial, yet strong evidence to suggest workers are increasingly experimenting and being highly creative with Web 2.0 communication technology, for a range of work and employment-related ends.
Due to the newness of the technology, however, the results generate far more unknowns than answers.
Guidance for future research activities are summarised in the conclusions.
Like I said before, the this is an early draft and will probably be modified several times once the many reviewing processes take place.
