Information Seeking and Information Journey: Examining Uses of Social Networking Sites During Organizational Socialization

Department of Communication Studies

Research output: Contribution to conference › Conference paper › peer-review

Abstract

This extended abstract describes a project that seeks to explore how organizational newcomers seek for information on social media especially publicly available social networking sites (PSNS). We employ an affordance perspective to understand characteristics of PSNS that shape information seeking during organizational entry. In addition, we adopt a process view to investigate how the information obtained from PSNS is used, evaluated, shared, and how the process influence socialization outcomes.
