Corporate Social Networks Effects on Perceived Organizational Support and Perceived Supervisor Support

Increasing use of online social network sites by organizations and their growing tendencies to establish an intraorganizational social network necessitates academic attention as to how these social networks can affect organizational outcomes. To fill this gap by a margin, this paper will theorize and propose ways in which corporate social networks are able to affect the perceived organizational support and the perceived supervisor support among employees. The study proposes that organizational use of corporate social networks positively affect employees’ perceptions of supervisor support and organizational support. It also suggests that the use of corporate social networks would help employees to have better evaluation of social and organizational support.
