SNT: Social Networking Tools in
the Workplace
Many people use social
networking tools, such as Facebook, Twitter, and
LinkedIn, for many reasons. In the workplace, it is
still unclear whether these tools are distractions or
they help boost productivity. Professor
Mega M. Subramaniam and I are leading a research
team to study the impact of social networking tools on
employee and organizational performance. Our first
initiative in this project is a
national survey
to understand the relationship between social networking
tools and work performance.
