One in five employees are friends with their boss on Facebook according to a survey.
The result was based on a survey of 1,000 adults conducted online by Russell Herder. The sample size is very small compared to the over 850 million Facebook users, and result of online surveys can be skewed as the participants tend to be more technologically-inclined. So, the real proportion may be way lower, but the results are interesting. So, lets have a look.
Some interesting findings of the survey include:
- 21 percent of employees are friends with their boss, especially those in the younger age categories.
- 5 percent of the respondents used to be friends with their bosses on Facebook, and wish the poll had asked which party had ended the friendship.
Among those who reported being connected with their supervisor on Facebook -
- 46 percent say they intitiated the connection where as 38 percent claim the friend request came from their supervisor.
- Almost one-third of men say their connection enables them to do their job at least somewhat more effectively while only 15 percent of women believes so.
- 53 percent of men say they use the social platform to communicate in a professional context compared to only 37 percent of women.
- 70 percent of use it for social purposes.
The report also offered five suggestions for managers and HR executives:
- Draft an official social media policy.
- Define appropriate boundaries.

According to a new Nielson study, if you are additcted to posting updates on Facebook, there’s a good chance you have money and are more urban than your non-facebooking peers.
Facebook users are more affluent than their counterparts on Myspace. And bloggers and Facebook users tend to live in urban areas.
The survey showed that Facebook users generally have an upscale profile. Other recent studies have shown that as Facebook grows in popularity, its user base is growing older.
That means Facebook, which has shown phenomenal growth in the past year, appeals to an older, wealthier demographic.
