(Bretschneider & Parker, 2016; Criado et al., 2013). Compared to their counterparts, profit-oriented organizations appear
to have better social media applications because they are essential for their business. They face higher public pressure
to make innovation in utilizing social media (Mergel, Bretschneider, Louis, & Smith, 2014; Tuten & Solomon, 2017).
This study has several limitations. First, this survey uses a small number of samples that failed to produce normally
distributed data in the variables. Future studies must collect more samples to increase the statistical power of the
results. Also, the next research might consider a different proxy to quantify the SMG’s implementation.
Second, this research only uses one control variable, organizational size, as measured by the number of employees
and categorized into six groups. This treatment significantly reduced the information needed for a statistical test;
however, it is still needed because of the difficulty of finding an accurate number of employees, especially in nonlisted
organizations. Future research should add additional control variables other than size.
Third, some sample organizations’ characteristics are measured by one respondent. Although their responses might
not be representative, they are still included because of the limited sample. However, previous research implied that
although multiple respondents use to measure an organization’s characteristic is preferable, it may not be critical
(Denison, Haaland, & Goelzer, 2004; Fey & Denison, 2003; Ralston et al., 2006). Future research might consider using
more than one sample to represent an organization.
