| description |
Social media is a medium of communication nowadays. In fact, the accessibility of the internet at
the workplace makes it is easier for the users to use it either positively or negatively. Hence, this
study tests the relationship between social media use, motives for using social media, Internet
surfing etiquette, work ethics, and communication ethics. The Utilitarian Theory is used to see
the benefits gained by the employees in terms of social media use at the workplace. This study
applies the quantitative research design where a selfadministered
survey questionnaire is used as
the instrument for data collection. Based on a sample of 344 respondents among the
administrative staff of International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), the findings indicate
that all variables are positively correlated with one another. Communication ethics fully mediates
the relationship between social media use and motives for using social media towards work
ethics. Communication ethics only partially mediates the relationship between the internet
surfing etiquette and work ethics. Therefore, communication ethics mediates the relationship
between social media use, motives for using social media and internet surfing etiquette towards
work ethics. |
