Examining the effects of enterprise social media on operational and social performance during environmental disruption

Yogesh K. Dwivedi et al.

Summary: This study examines how the usage of enterprise social media (ESM) improves decision-making effectiveness, and subsequently enhances organizational performance in terms of operations and social impact during times of environmental disruption. The mediating roles of organizational agility, ESM infrastructure, and knowledge sharing in the relationship between ESM usage and decision-making effectiveness are also investigated. The findings confirm that ESM usage indirectly affects decision-making effectiveness, ultimately leading to improved operational and social performance. Organizational agility and ESM infrastructure play strong mediating roles, while the mediating effect of knowledge sharing through ESM is weaker.
