- This paper explores the possibility of creating a new category of Facebook ads based on the personality of the user. The introduction of social media channels such as Facebook has provided a new platform for performing self-affirmation theory tests and related behavioral studies. This paper is based on the subsidiary hypothesis that while self-affirming themselves, Facebook users disclose information about their personality. A lexical analysis of each user’s Facebook posts can therefore be used for the purpose of profiling the user. The analysis and categorization of users’ posts based on their behavioral and personality traits can potentially assist marketers interested in targeted marketing to reach a specific audience through this powerful online channel. Hence, this study proposes an innovative method that measures narcissistic personality by analyzing a user’s Facebook posts.

- The benefits provided by employment and identified with a specific employing company are referred to as employer branding. We argue that when employees use IT to share and access work-related experiences openly across organizations, their expectations and assessments of workplaces change. We collected 38,000 reviews of the highest and lowest ranked employers on Glassdoor, an online crowdsourced employer branding platform. Using IBM Watson to analyze the data, we identify seven employer branding value propositions that current, former, and potential employees care about when they collectively evaluate employers. These propositions include (1) social elements of work, (2) interesting and challenging work tasks, (3) the extent to which skills can be applied in meaningful ways, (4) opportunities for professional development, (5) economic issues tied to compensation, (6) the role of management, and (7) work/life balance. We clarify that these value propositions do not all matter to the same extent and demonstrate how their relative valences and weights differ across organizations, especially if institutions are considered particularly good or bad places to work. Based on these findings, we show how employers can use crowdsourced employer branding intelligence to become great places to work that attract highly qualified employees.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Strategic talent management remains challenging for IT companies, especially since the COVID pandemic. This challenge is due mainly to the limited supply of highly skilled prospects. Add high workforce mobility to the mix, resulting in considerable hiring, training, and development costs. Employer Branding is an effective tool to help IT employers overcome these challenges and attract employees to these employers. Employer Branding is a strategy that firms can utilize to manage their reputation as a “great place to work.” With the proliferation of social media, review sites, and electronic word of mouth, this reputation has increasingly been influenced by the evaluations employees share publicly and access on those platforms, especially employer review sites. IT firms must understand what values matter most to employees to manage their brands effectively. Based on a content analysis of 94,365 employee reviews, this research evaluates eight values that IT professionals consider when evaluating IT employers. This article expands on previous research and looks at employees’ reactions to those values before and after COVID. By comparing the results of pre-COVID and after COVID, we can see which values are most important to employees and provide recommendations for IT firms on how they can use employer brand value propositions to attract and retain IT talent post-COVID.

The Prosthetic Generation Is all Around Us : Feelings and Emotions About Knee Replacement Surgery and Their Impact on Overall Sentiment: An Abstract
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Back to the Future. - Cham : Springer Nature. ; , s. 561-, s. 561-
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In their attempts to reduce the uncertainty associated with knee replacement surgeries, patients turn to social media, where they commonly rely on the experiences expressed by other patients. In this study, we first employ IBM Watson to examine how patients talk about their emotions and express sentiment through their comments online. We then use a latent class cluster modelling procedure to segment these patients into distinct groups, according to their emotions (anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness and surprise), sentiment and their overall satisfaction with knee replacement surgery. Our findings show how qualitative online data can be transformed into quantitative insights regarding underlying market segments, which could then be targeted through different strategies by both marketers and healthcare practitioners.
