Journal Title: IOSR journal of Business and Management - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 6

Abstract

The concept that employee performance is to a large extent, dependent on their technical andorganizational knowledge was fronted by Burton, Wu, and Prybutok (2010). While acknowledging the need for professionals to constantly update their knowledge to remain abreast of new technologies; changes in organizational strategies; and current affairs in other organizational units, they indicate that it is an important way to be informed in such a manner to tap one’s social networks through which one stays attuned to the organization’s mission and gains tacit organizational knowledge. Hence, social networks which influence systems mediate the effect of human resource practices on knowledge transfer. This study investigated the relationship between use of social networking sites and employee performance.125 professionals were interviewed. Correlation and regression analysis was done. Results revealed there is significant relationship between use of social networking sites and employee performance through developing, knowledge, skills, motivation and productivity.
