Motivation: IT professionals are continuously improving advanced software programs for business activities to leverage their activities and benefits.

Besides that, since there is few research from organizational and employee perspectives, this study purposes to see the impact of Managers’ attitude and Organizational Culture for Social Media usage of supply chain professionals in their supply chain activities. |
