The influence of social network and employee self-initiated behavior on corporate performance
Abstract:
In the current competitive market environment, the traditional management
method can no longer meet the needs of the company's survival and further
development. The company began to pay attention to the internal management of the
company, and thus arise the concept of employee self-initiated behavior under the
social network within the company. This research is aimed to verify if company can
use social network analysis methods to establish a good social network for employees
inside and outside the company, so that employees can spontaneously complete
existing tasks in the company and at the same time carry out some behaviors that are
beneficial to the company. Based on the theoretical research on the two variables of
social network and employee self-initiated behavior, this research uses the
questionnaire survey method to study the impact of the two variables on the company's
performance. In the analysis of the research and the questionnaire, we selected some
representative dimensions. Under these dimensions, we found that both social
networks and employee self-initiated behaviors have a significant positive impact on
company performance. This study further tested the relationship between the subsets
of social network which are social network scale, centrality and heterogeneity, and the
subsets of employee self-initiated behavior which are voice behavior, organizational
citizenship behavior, and prosocial behavior. Finally, social network is definitely one
of the focus that company shall look into for future developments.
