Several blogs and websites focused on social media marketing suggest that, for brands with an Instagram account, it can be profitable to cultivate their followers’ fear of missing out (“FoMO”) by posting ephemeral content. Based on an online survey conducted with 550 followers of various brand Instagram accounts and an experimental study involving 535 participants, this article shows that the ephemeral nature of content triggers FoMO among followers, which in turn positively influences engagement and fatigue toward the brand’s account.

Engagement (respectively, fatigue) toward the brand’s account is in turn positively (respectively, negatively) related to attitude toward the brand and attachment to it. Further analyses reveal that the total effect of followers’ FoMO on brand attachment is positive and significant, whereas the total effect of FoMO on attitude toward the brand is not significant. Moreover, the ephemeral nature of content has a total negative and significant effect on attitude toward the brand.

These findings therefore indicate that it is not advantageous for brands to foster FoMO among their Instagram followers by posting ephemeral content.

What is Managerialism?

Le managérialisme est l’accaparement du pouvoir par les managers, aux dépends des autres parties prenantes d’une organisation. Il se développe sur un affaiblissement de l’autorité professionnelle de ceux qui réalisent la mission de leur entreprise ou de leur administration, remplacée par le pouvoir de celui qui croit savoir et qui décide de tout en conséquence. Les managérialistes ont pour mission de fixer les objectifs collectifs et de décider des moyens à utiliser pour atteindre ces objectifs. Résister au managérialisme, c’est donc restaurer l’autorité de celui qui est capable d’expliquer, de justifier le pourquoi et le comment de ce qu’il fait ou propose de faire.

What is obedience?

Les chercheurs des écoles de management acceptent généralement une perspective déterministe du comportement, selon laquelle l’obéissance est le produit de forces sociales agissant sur les individus et causant leur comportement. Cette perspective a reçu une validation empirique dans les célèbres études de Solomon Asch et de Staley Milgram. Cependant, les archives de ces expériences permettent d’interpréter leurs résultats surprenant dans un autre sens : si les personnes qui en furent les sujets se comportèrent comme elles le firent, c’est parce qu’elles croyaient bien faire. En d’autres termes, leur obéissance reflétait un choix libre et délibéré.

What is synthetic-analytical distinction

Little known in France, the analytic-synthetic distinction is one of the cornerstones of empiricism in general and the scientific method in particular. Indeed, it translates, into everyday language, the fact that scientific knowledge derives either from experience (that is, from observation) or from logic applied to experience. The origins of the distinction date back to the fourteenth century and William of Ockham, but it was David Hume and then Immanuel Kant who gave it its definitive expression.

Unpacking User Adaptation: Technology implementation and usage context in a new coping matrix

Our research investigates how management interventions can facilitate user adaptation to new information technology across implementation stages and usage contexts. Drawing on the Coping Model of User Adaptation, we propose a 2×2 coping framework, showing that tailored interventions—such as training, user participation, feedback handling, and change fairness—differently shape users’ beliefs (perceived usefulness and ease of use) and coping mechanisms. Empirical studies in both mandatory (police officers) and voluntary (university students) settings confirm that communal coping dominates in mandatory contexts while individual coping prevails in voluntary ones. Pre-implementation beliefs strongly influence post-implementation perceptions, and deep usage significantly enhances user performance and satisfaction. The study offers theoretical insights into adaptive processes and practical guidance for managers aiming to improve IT implementation success.

Affect and information systems

The sociomaterial lens within IS research holds that agency should not be considered as a property solely of humans, or of technology, but instead arises from an emergent interaction between the two. This, emergent, account of agency deepens our understanding of unfolding IS practice, but its largely cognitive orientation remains naïve towards affectively-sensed motivations that also form part of this interaction. By implication, a sociomaterial perspective lacking an affective dimension offers an incomplete conceptualisation of information systems. In response, an affectively-informed negative ontology encourages IS researchers to extend their focus beyond the visible, to encompass how actors’ receptiveness towards material objects (discourses, technologies) is shaped by deep, affectively-derived motivations of which they are not focally aware, but which nonetheless acquire agency in contributing to a sociomaterial outcome. A central argument, and illustrative empirical vignette, demonstrate how the concepts of sociomateriality, affect, and negative ontology combine to offer researchers an enhanced understanding of relational agency. A discussion follows, exploring some initial ontological, epistemological and methodological implications of an affectively-informed negative ontology for IS research.

Designing Transformation for Hyper-Performance and Resilient Organizations

The majority of global problems and organizational challenges are byproducts of poor human attitude and behavior. Inability to master rapid changes often leads to managerial inefficiently and inadequate business performance. Now, the corporate management can benefit from a practical three-step methodology when dealing with human behavior and related attitudinal change.
