Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine whether firms use social media to disseminate good news to various stakeholders thereby enhancing corporate social performance (CSP). Design/methodology/approach - This study collected data from various databases such as Korea Economic Justice Institute (KEJI) Index, VALUESearch, and TS2000, and such social media platforms as Instagram and Meta (formerly known as facebook). The sample of this study includes 3,474(firm-year) observations from 799 unique Korean firms between 2013-2022. This study conducts fixed effect panel regression analysis to test the hypotheses. Findings - First, we found both corporate use of social media, and the number of uploaded corporate news on social media were positively related to CSP. We also found that positive user reactions to the news on social media were positively related to CSP. Second, we examine the moderating roles of firm age in the relationships described above. The results show that firm age strengthens both the relationship between number of uploaded news on social media and CSP, and the relationship between positive user reactions to news on social media and CSP. Research implications or Originality - This study extends the social media research in the management literature by investigating how corporate use of social media, number of uploaded corporate news on social media, and the user reactions on the news on social media affect corporate social performance. For a practical implication, our results allow the stakeholders to better predict corporate future CSP. They suggest that ceteris paribus, firms that use social media actively, vis-a-vis firms that do not use social media actively, are more likely to get good CSP scores. They also suggest that such beneficial effects of social media will become more prominent as companies get older.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the correlation between the motivations to use social media and self-control among female middle school students. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional descriptive study. To collect the data, 300 female students of S and E middle school in S city responded to a self-administered questionnaire asking about their motivation for social media use and self-control. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one way ANOVA, Scheffétest, Pearson's correlation, and stepwise multiple regression, using the SPSS/WIN 21.0 program. Results: The average time spent on social media was 3.70 hours. The mean scores of social media usage motivation and self-control were 48.15 and 58.47, respectively. The more average time spent on social media, the higher was the motivation to use social media. The scores of motivation to use social media were higher in students with low satisfaction of their school and family life. Students with low satisfaction of their school life had higher scores in some subcategories of self-control; preference to simple task, egocentrism, and stroppiness. Motivations to use social media showed a significant positive correlation with self-control. Self-control was affected by motivations to use social media and this variable explained 11.6% of self-control among female middle school students. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that we should develop programs which help improve students' self-control and prevent the side effects of social media use among female middle school students.

본 연구는 전국의 고등학생 및 대학생에 대한 대규모 조사를 통하여 소셜미디어 이용정도 및 이용동기가 교량적/결속적 사회자본 및 참여를 증진시키는 데 얼마나 기여하고 있는지 고찰했다. 특히 소셜미디어를 네트워크 성격에 따라 개방형 네트워크와 폐쇄형 네트워크 서비스로 구분해 분석한 결과, 전자는 교량적 사회자본의 강화에, 후자는 결속적 사회자본의 증진에 기여하는 것으로 나타났다. 소셜미디어이용동기는 교량적/결속적 사회자본 모두에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 소셜미디어를 통한 정치 사회적 참여에는 소셜미디어 유형별 이용정도와 이용동기가 모두 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 결론적으로, 소셜미디어가 사회자본에 미치는 효과는 어떤 성격의 매체를 이용하고 그것을 어떠한 목적으로 이용하는가에 따라 결정된다고 볼 수 있다.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship among narcissism, usage motives, usage behaviors, satisfaction with and continuance intention to use fashion social media. Research design, data, methodology - A questionnaire survey was used to collect data after conducting a pilot test. Based on the reliability test of the preliminary questionnaire used for the pilot test, the questionnaire was revised. The final questionnaires were administered to 238 fashion social media users and 216 were used for the data analysis. To assess the validity of these measures, exploratory factor analysis and the confirmatory factor analysis were performed. Structural equation modeling analysis were employed for data analysis. Results - Five factors of the usage motivation of fashion social media were extracted: information-seeking, relationship-seeking, practicality-seeking, enjoyment-seeking and self-expression motives. The statistical analysis confirmed the influence of the narcissism tendency on all of the usage motives of fashion social media, three of the fashion social media usage motives influencing information diffusion behavior, and the influence of the information diffusion behavior on users' satisfaction and continuance intention to use fashion social media. Narcissism exerted the highest influences on self-expression motive followed by information-seeking, enjoyment-seeking, relationship-seeking and practicality-seeking motives in order. Factors affecting fashion information diffusion behaviors are practicality-seeking motive, self-expression motive, and relationship-seeking motive. The greater the diffusion of information, the higher the satisfaction with using fashion social media. The consumers with higher satisfaction intended to use fashion social media and share information more frequently. Conclusions - The results indicate that narcissism is an important factor in fashion social media usage motivation. The main motives for narcissistic people to spread information is for the practical purpose at the most, and then to express their personality and style, and to build relationship with others. The satisfaction through active information sharing behaviors seems to play a key role to lead high continuance intention of fashion social media. These implies that marketing strategies to satisfy consumers' narcissism and motives to use social media, and to stimulate the information diffusion behaviors can be used to meet their needs for higher satisfaction with fashion social media.

근래 소셜미디어 이용이 대중화되면서 누가, 어떻게, 왜 이용하는지에 대한 관심이 높아졌다. 본 연구는 이용과 충족 관점에서 대표적 소셜미디어 카카오스토리, 페이스북, 트위터의 이용행태와, 소셜미디어 이용자가 인식하는 사회적 지지감에 어떤 영향을 미치는지에 대한 검토이다. 이를 위해 전국규모 대학 학생대상 온라인 설문조사를 실시한 자료 240건을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 이용자 개인성향과 이용동기에 따라 이용정도에 차이가 있고 소셜미디어 이용방식에도 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 쓰기 등 적극적 이용방식은 대인관계나 자기이미지 노출동기와, 보기만 하는 소극적 이용은 습관적 동기와 연관되었다. 또한 소셜미디어 이용이 빈번할수록 이용자의 사회적 지지감이 증가해서 소셜미디어에 자주 접속하는 것으로 세상과 연결되어 있다고 인식함을 알 수 있었다. 소셜미디어에서 활동하는 방식은 사회적 지지감에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 소셜미디어 소통행위 자체만으로 사회적 지지감을 갖게 된다는 점이 확인되었다.

Recently, as the number of smart-phone users has been rapidly increased, enterprise managers have a keen interest in business application of social media. Most previous studies have focused on perspective of the individual unit of analysis instead of enterprise level unit. The study is focused on the relationship between the enterprises' recognition and behavioral intention (and use) about social media application. The purpose of this study is to develop the model of small and medium enterprises' social media application, and to find the factors affecting their behavioral intention or use behavior.
