通过LinkedIn上的社会工作社区实现联系、参与和学习

西班牙总结说，在线社交网络提供的更大连接使直到最近才出现的互动动态得以蓬勃发展。社会工作者正在使用这些数字媒体，建立交流信息和合作的实践社区。使用NetNografia和社交网络分析，我们观察了在特定背景下为41个组织工作的170名社会工作者在LinkedIn上的存在、身份以及连接和互动模式。通过某些算法，我们通过分析成员之间的凝聚力来识别隐式社区。结果揭示了连接和互动的模式，导致LinkedIn中围绕社会工作者的领域和实践的实践社区。讨论了在LinkedIn上建立和维持关系的可能性，以及将社会干预作为一种社会创新公式纳入在线社交网络的机会，以改善专业人员和组织之间的信息交流与合作。EnglishabsTract社交网络站点实现了高度的连接，导致前所未有的互动动态。社会工作者正在使用这些数字手段，并正在产生他们合作和分享信息的实践社区。通过对社交网站的网络图和分析，我们观察了在41个组织工作的170名社会工作者在特定背景下的存在、身份、联系和互动模式。通过各种算法确定了隐含社区，从而分析了其成员的领导能力和凝聚力。结果显示了联系和互动模式，导致根据社会工作领域和做法建立联系实践社区。讨论讨论了在LinkedIn上建立和维持关系的可能性，并将社会网络站点应用于社会干预，作为改善专业人员和组织之间信息交流与合作的创新战略。
