Abstract

BACKGROUND: Information literacy always matters in the digital era. Upsurging research has been conducted about how information literacy influences their learning and capabilities development. However, previous literature has reached inconclusive and even conflicting results. OBJECTIVE: The present study investigates the underlying mechanism whereby the information literacy of using social media influences students’ cross-cultural social adjustment and their creativity. Further, the research explores the moderating role of personality of extraversion on students’ cross-cultural social adjustment. METHODS: A quantitative research methodology was adopted to survey international students studying at 43 Chinese public universities. Data collected from 2058 samples from 135 countries was used to test the hypothesized statements. RESULTS: Information literacy of using social media is confirmed to positively influence students’ cross-cultural social adjustment and creativity. Contrary to the hypothesized statement, personality of extraversion negatively moderates the relationships between two dimensions of information literacy of using social media and students’ cross-cultural social adjustment. CONCLUSIONS: International students rely more heavily on IL than domestic students, which should arouse more scholarly attention since no conclusive findings have been reached. How, by whom and where to use such an important skill could generate positive effects on human development deserves continuous efforts in the future.

信息素养与外向性是否匹配？来自中国的经验证据

背景：在数字时代，信息素养始终至关重要。关于信息素养如何影响学习和能力发展的研究日益增多。然而，以往的文献得出的结果并不一致，甚至相互矛盾。目的：本研究探讨了使用社交媒体的信息素养影响学生跨文化社会适应能力和创造力的内在机制。此外，本研究还探讨了外向型人格对学生跨文化社会适应的调节作用。方法：本研究采用定量研究方法，对 43 所中国公立大学的留学生进行了调查。从 135 个国家的 2058 个样本中收集的数据用于检验假设陈述。结果：使用社交媒体的信息素养被证实对学生的跨文化社会适应能力和创造力有积极影响。与假设相反，外向型人格对使用社交媒体的信息素养的两个维度与学生的跨文化社会适应性之间的关系起负调节作用。结论：与国内学生相比，留学生更依赖于信息素养，这应该引起更多学者的关注，因为目前还没有定论。如何、由谁来以及在何处使用这一重要技能会对人类发展产生积极影响，值得今后继续努力。

期刊介绍： Human Systems Management (HSM) is an interdisciplinary, international, refereed journal, offering applicable, scientific insight into reinventing business, civil-society and government organizations, through the sustainable development of high-technology processes and structures. Adhering to the highest civic, ethical and moral ideals, the journal promotes the emerging anthropocentric-sociocentric paradigm of societal human systems, rather than the pervasively mechanistic and organismic or medieval corporatism views of humankind’s recent past. Intentionality and scope Their management autonomy, capability, culture, mastery, processes, purposefulness, skills, structure and technology often determine which human organizations truly are societal systems, while others are not. HSM seeks to help transform human organizations into true societal systems, free of bureaucratic ills, along two essential, inseparable, yet complementary aspects of modern management: a) the management of societal human systems: the mastery, science and technology of management, including self management, striving for strategic, business and functional effectiveness, efficiency and productivity, through high quality and high technology, i.e., the capabilities and competences that only truly societal human systems create and use, and b) the societal human systems management: the enabling of human beings to form creative teams, communities and societies through autonomy, mastery and purposefulness, on both a personal and a collegial level, while catalyzing people’s creative, inventive and innovative potential, as people participate in corporate-, business- and functional-level decisions. Appreciably large is the gulf between the innovative ideas that world-class societal human systems create and use, and what some conventional business journals offer. The latter often pertain to already refuted practices, while outmoded business-school curricula reinforce this problematic situation.
