It is, therefore, important to understand the causes of social fatigue. One reasons why many people engage with is avoid boredom. Thus, purpose this paper investigate how boredom proneness relates Design/methodology/approach Building on stress–strain–outcome framework, tests a model hypothesizing relationships between user's proneness, information...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine how the principles talent management (TM) can be leveraged enhance an organization's knowledge (KM) initiatives. Design/methodology/approach This critically reviews literature pertaining emerging concept TM and specifically that which focuses on “smart management” i.e. fusion KM concepts. authors offer insights as benefit then discuss these with a focus group practitioners. Findings two concepts has so far only been considered by human resource...

Previous studies have firmly established the technological gatekeeper to be a key node in innovation process – acquiring, translating, and disseminating external information throughout R&D unit. However, concept has received modest attention recent times. We argue that needs re-examined light of advances Internet technologies dramatically altered how knowledge workers source share their information. Drawing on social network analysis interview evidence from medical devices group, we find...

Purpose Social networking sites (SNS) are heavily used by university students for personal and academic purposes. Despite their benefits, using SNS can generate stress many people. stressors have been associated with numerous maladaptive outcomes. The objective in this study is to investigate when how use damages student achievement psychological wellbeing. Design/methodology/approach Combining the theoretical perspectives from technostress strength model of self-control, theoretically...

Purpose Online labour markets (OLMs) have recently become a widespread phenomenon of digital work. While the implications OLMs on worker well-being are hotly debated, little empirical research examines impact such work individuals. The highly competitive and fast-paced nature compels workers to multitask perform intense technology-enabled work, which can potentially enhance technostress. This paper antecedents consequences technostress arising from in OLMs. Design/methodology/approach...

Abstract Purpose – This paper seeks to explore the processes and channels through which valuable knowledge from outside firm reaches those employees who can exploit that for innovative purposes. It identify specific talents exhibited by key individuals involved in facilitating these important flows. also aims detail interventions management adopt harness flow talents. Design/methodology/approach The methodology used was a single case study of medical devices R&D group, incorporating social...

Purpose This paper investigates the moderating role of multitasking computer self-efficacy on relationship between social media affordances and overload as well its moderation fatigue. Design/methodology/approach The authors hypothesize that will have a positive impact (i.e. information communication overload). They also affect In addition, they attenuate effect both overload. Similarly, effects test this model by collecting two-wave data from 220 professionals using PLS techniques. Findings...

Alongside its many benefits, can also have adverse effects on users. Video fatigue is commonly cited problem, especially those individuals forced to adopt technology. Drawing from technostress perspective, this paper examines causes consequences VCF during situation. A research model developed tested...

The recently developed knowledge-based view of the firm argues that knowledge is firm's most valuable resource. Within this field study, informal social networks are rapidly gaining attention as mechanisms facilitate flows. Electronic practice (NoPs) a special case network where sharing practice-related occurs primarily through computer-based communication technologies. However, we know relatively little about dynamics exchange occur in these electronic networks. This conceptual paper posits...

Abstract This paper examines how the digitisation of social network, and resulting interplay between its online offline components, has impacted role technological gatekeeper in research development (R&D) settings. Previous studies have firmly established to be a key node innovation process – acquiring, translating disseminating novel information throughout R&D network. Drawing on network analysis interview evidence from software group, we find that undergone division labour....

The literature indicates that there is urgent need to address the significant gap in our ability value contributory interaction of service networks organisational performance. This paper primarily concerned with exploring how (re)configuration utilised optimise network will summarise review over past year quest document we can understand innovation networks. It identifies some interesting overlaps business process management, science, and literature. discuss failing account for inhibits...

Service comprise of socio-technical (human and technological) factors which exchange various resources competencies. networks are used to transfer competencies, yet they remain an underexplored ‘invisible’ infrastructure. become increasingly complex when technology is implemented execute specific service processes. This ultimately adds the complexity a environment, making it one most difficult environments examine manage. In addition, although emerging paradigm ‘Service Science’ calls for...

Mobile gambling differs from land-based and traditional forms of in that the opportunity to place bets engage with casinos is constantly present easily accessible. Instead going a physical bookmaker or casino, mobile done quickly swiftly, anytime, anywhere, few taps on device.

Purpose The privacy paradox refers to the situation where users of online services continue disclose personal information even when they are concerned about their privacy. One recent study Facebook published in Internet Research concludes that laziness contributes paradox. purpose this is challenge explanation. To do so, we adopt a cognitive dispositions perspective and examine how person’s external locus control influences paradox, beyond trait laziness. Design/methodology/approach A mixed...

In the context of implementing collaborative innovation, a range digitally enabled infrastructures impact core organizational activities. Automotive manufacturing is one such industry where competitors now openly collaborate, facilitated through new technologies, in an effort to enhance collective innovation systems. We conducted longitudinal case study first open network German automotive determine how online and offline channels interact fuel firms' joint search for external ideas. Delving...

Purpose Prior research has extensively examined how bringing technology from work into the non-work life domain creates conflict, yet reverse pathway rarely been studied. The purpose of this study is to bridge gap and examine use smartphones in workplace affects work–life conflict. Design/methodology/approach Drawing three literature streams: technostress, conflict role boundary theory, authors theorise on limiting employees' ability integrate personal work, by means policy, contributes...
