Communication between employees play a crucial role in increasing the
productivity in the workplace. Social media is an ideal tool that can be used
to enhance the communication process between the employees. This tool can be
used to retrieve an insurmountable amount of information. Nevertheless, the
usage of social media has two different consequences known as the “dual
effects”: productive behaviors (task-oriented and relationship-building) and
unproductive behaviors (deviance) at work (Carlson D., Carlson J. & Harris, 2016). It is essential for
organizations to understand what drives Millennial employees and what tools
they prefer to utilize in the workplace. Understanding Millennials’ characteristics
will enable the management team to lead them appropriately and thus elicit more
productive outcomes. Millennials have certain characteristics that distinguish
them from previous generations. They are known as “digital natives” as the idea
of technology has been ingrained in their mind since birth. (Myers, Sundaram
& Vodanovich, 2010). This generation
expects an abundance of information, aims for the speed of communication and
multi-tasking, and are willing to share their experiences with the world via
social networks (Krishen et al, 2016). In this study, we will see how social
media can have an impact on their psychological health.
