How Do We Use Our Social Networks? A Study from Bosnia and Herzegovina

Abstract

This study observes the use of social networks among employees in companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The survey conducted online on a sample of 526 employees provides an overview of the most popular and frequently used social networks and the use of social networks at work for personal and work purposes. In addition, the paper treats the habits of checking social networks and the relationship with employees’ well-being. Also, differences in the habits of checking social networks based on gender, age, level of education, and position in the organization were observed. The results of the research confirmed that employees most often access social networks via mobile phones, that some companies do not approve the social networks use during work, and that there are differences in the habits of using social networks in terms of gender and age.
