| Summary: | Despite the general belief that enterprise social media (ESM) transcend
traditional boundaries and offer access to knowledge in various domains, there has
been a lack of understanding and empirical evidence for employees’ willingness
to expend the effort to share such knowledge when approached. This research-inprogress proposes that employees would be more willing to share domain-specific
knowledge if they perceive the relevant ESM affordances for reducing the effort of
codifying such knowledge. Preliminary results of a survey indicate that perceiving the
affordance of visibility increases employees’ willingness to share domain-specific
knowledge, but the affordance of editability does not have a significant effect. Implications of the findings for research and practice are discussed. |
