ABSTRACT As the impact of social media grows, understanding the mechanisms through which social media affects employee behaviour increases. Employing social capital theory, we investigate the mechanisms through which social media usage affects organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) of faculty in Kenyan private universities. OCB is an important aspect of universities’ performance, given the high level of autonomy in universities. We develop a theoretical model that posits direct links to OCB of three social media usages (social, cognitive, and hedonic) which affect OCB. We also posit indirect links (using autonomy as a mediator) that affect faculty’s intrinsic motivation for OCB. Using descriptive cross-sectional survey, a mediated model was tested on 388 faculty. Results revealed: 1) social media usage significantly impacts OCB, with social and cognitive having a positive relationship, and hedonic having a negative relationship with OCB; 2) social media usage tends to increase autonomy. Findings of this study contribute towards job performance improvement.

In this paper, we raise the question of the usefulness of expert groups or scientific councils like those that were created during the COVID-19 crisis in several countries. We begin by characterising expertise and the limits of experts' knowledge. Then, we recall why expertise is not decision-making. In the third part we review the weaknesses of group thinking and the role of responsibility and commitment in decision-making. The fourth part is devoted to learning and we finally conclude on the usefulness of using expert knowledge and/or expert group knowledge, depending on the situation and on your aim but certainly not inducting experts as decision makers.

ABSTRACT Instead of a comprehensive analysis, company executives often listen to their intuitions or rely on their past experience; hence, intuition does play a critical role in management. In a sample of 234 Hungarian companies, we looked at the relationship between the decision-making approaches used and corporate performance and attitudes towards change. It turned out that decision-making based on past experience and intuitions are generally associated with better business results and better operational performance based on cost-effectiveness. In addition, we have seen evidence that companies that are more prepared for change and have greater capacity to manage change more effectively use an intuitive decision-making approach than those that are less responsive.

ABSTRACT This study investigates the willingness to pay for the real COVID-19 vaccine and the framing effect for a hypothetical COVID-19 pill. The way how a message concerning a risky situation is formulated impacts decisions. However, personal characteristics, like attitude to risk, also strongly impact this decision. In this study, risk attitudes are measured with the DOSPERT Scale. As many studies proved, the intention to be vaccinated is not just related to risk preferences, but also strongly influenced by socioemotional factors. The extent to which friends and relatives are vaccinated in our social circles as well as the concern for both others and for ourselves influence this decision. Using an online survey, personal pricing and acceptance of both real and hypothetical COVID-19 medicines were studied. The results of the descriptive and inference statistics concerning how the message frame impacts pricing are ambiguous, but the significant effects of environmental and individual factors are confirmed.
