Abstract

As an emerging information technology (IT) platform, Enterprise social media (ESM) such as DingTalk and WeChat experienced explosive growth during the outbreak of COVID-19. ESM is not only a communication channel but also a social platform for managing human resources, communication, learning, collaboration and knowledge sharing. This paper explores the role of communication visibility as an IT feature in promoting employee knowledge sharing behavior. Using the theory of communication visibility and impression management, this paper proposes a model to explore how information transparency and network translucence of ESM affect the explicit and tacit attributes of knowledge sharing behavior, which is influenced by employees’ impression management motivation. This research is helpful for managers to motivate employees’ behavior by understanding the influencing mechanisms.
