Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effects of social media on employee’s performance in some selected companies in Lagos state, Nigeria . Data for the study were collected through the questionnaire with a sample population of 120 respondents. The collected data were analyzed using linear regression method with a view to know ing how social media ef fects and influence employee performance. The negative relationship was however found to be stronger as 68.4 % employees spend most of their time on social media enhancing personal networks and 86 % of employees use office hours to visit online social networks. A positive relationship exists in the employ ee, who use social media for seeking and viewing work-related information. The study concluded that employees participate in social media in the workplace for both work and non-work related activity. Social media has the potential to allow employees to form collaborations and communities for knowledge creation and sharing, better channels of communication, which enhance employee productivity. However, it can draw employees into an addiction that distracts performance as well as straining the University resources.
