摘要

社交媒体技术使员工与工作的联系变得越来越可行。微信是一个新兴的社交媒体平台，在日常生活中被广泛使用，但在企业中使用微信群的后果仍然知之甚少。基于边界理论，我们认为在企业中使用微信组对员工来说有利有弊。我们收集了202名员工的在线调查数据。结果表明，在企业微信群组中发布与工作相关的内容对员工的工作产生了有益的影响，但也造成了工作-生活冲突(WLC)。然而，在企业b微信群中发布与生活相关的内容有助于员工的生活-工作增强(LWE)。讨论了这些发现的贡献和未来的研究方向。

Enterprise WeChat Groups: Their Effect on Work-Life Conflict and Life-Work Enhancement

Social media technologies have made it increasingly feasible for employees to be connected to work. WeChat, a newly emerging social media platform, is widely used in daily life, yet there is still little understanding of the consequences of the use of WeChat groups in enterprise. Based on boundary theory, we suggested that the use of WeChat groups in enterprise have both pros and cons for employees. We gathered data from an online survey of 202 employees. Results show that posting work-related content in enterprise WeChat groups had a beneficial impact on work for employees but also caused work-life conflict (WLC). However, posting life-related content in enterprise WeChat groups contributes to employees' life-work enhancement (LWE). Contributions and future study directions of these findings are discussed.
