利用企业社会网络发现知识行动者角色的行为维度
Behavioural Dimensions for Discovering Knowledge Actor Roles Utilising Enterprise Social Network Metrics
摘要:
识别不同的用户角色是社交媒体研究的一个重要主题。然而,对于企业社交网络(ESN),在组织内使用社交媒体,识别这种角色的研究仍然缺乏。然而,了解用户的作用,特别是他们的知识贡献和沟通行为,可能有助于支持公司管理关键的知识资源。在此背景下,在这篇研究进展中的论文中,我们得出了16个指标的参与行为,信息内容和结构位置的ESN用户的澳大利亚专业服务公司的特点。基于因子分析,我们确定了ESN用户行为的四个不同维度:贡献和网络,信息提供,接触分散和无形的使用。通过这项研究,我们通过将组织科学和社会媒体研究的概念和方法转移到ESN环境中来为文献做出贡献。此外,我们的方法形成了识别不同类型的知识行为者的基础,这可能最终有助于提高组织的知识透明度。
英文摘要:
The identification of distinct user roles is an important theme in social media research. However, for Enterprise Social Networks (ESN), the use of social media within organisations, research identifying such roles is still lacking. Yet, understanding user roles, in particular regarding their knowledge contributions and communication behaviour, might usefully support companies in managing critical knowledge resources. Against this backdrop, in this research-in-progress paper we derive 16 metrics characterising the participation behaviour, message content and structural position of ESN users of an Australian professional services firm. Based on a factor analysis, we identify four distinct dimensions of ESN user behaviour: Contribution & networking, information provision, contact dispersion and invisible usage. With this research we contribute to the literature by transferring concepts and methods of organisation science and social media research to an ESN context. Further, our approach forms the basis for the identification of different types of knowledge actors, which might ultimately help to improve organisational knowledge transparency.
