Resumo: The objective of this study was to understand which factors lead companies to use social media to achieve results. For that, a theoretical model was proposed and tested. Data was collected using a survey of 237 companies. In the analysis we analysis used the structural equation modeling technique. The results show that the social media relative advantage and its observability were important factors to social media organizational adoption. We also found that big companies with more formalized organizational structure (OS) tend to adopt social media more than small ones with no formal OS. The companies studied showed strong organizational disposition for innovation adoption.

Para isso, um modelo teórico foi proposto e testado. Os dados foram coletados por meio de uma pesquisa que investigou 237 empresas. A análise utilizou a técnica de modelagem de equações estruturais. Os resultados mostram que a vantagem relativa da mídia social e sua possibilidade de observação foram fatores importantes para a adoção dessa inovação por organizações. Verificou-se também que as grandes empresas com Estrutura Organizacional (EO) mais formalizada tendem a adotar as mídias sociais mais do que as pequenas empresas sem EO formalizada. As empresas estudadas mostraram forte disposição organizacional para a adoção dessa inovação.FUCAPE Business Shool2016-11-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed ArticleArtigo revisado pelos paresapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://www.bbronline.com.br/index.php/bbr/article/view/9810.15728/bbr.2016.13.6.5Brazilian Business Review; Vol. 13 No. 6 (2016): November to December 2016; 260-290Brazilian Business Review; v. 13 n. 6 (2016): Novembro a Dezembro de 2016; 260-2901808-23861807-734Xreponame:BBR.
