Information sharing, intrinsic information, perceived contextual information, job satisfactionAbstract
The phrase perceived information refers feeling or self-assessments of knowing related information. Perceived information’s level affects the intellectual capacity and makes use of interrelationships amid new portions of information in subjects like choice decision tasks. It also influences themes’ assessments of the significance of latest and old information. This research effort is necessary for elaborating the value of perceived information by the employees for their job satisfaction. As the phrase, perceived information needs to be discussed because there is not much literature on it. It is a context base analysis from existing literature; where information sharing is considered as independent, whereas job satisfaction is dependent variable. Perceived information along with its dimensions is use as mediation that the workforce is perceiving the information from the environment through information sharing’s as well as it has impacts on job satisfaction. Investigation on available literature is exploring that perceived basic (initial, necessary), appropriate (specific) and actionable information by the workforce have both positive and negative impacts. However, it depends upon the nature of workforce especially their levels to understand and handle the things. This study is highlighting both bright and dark sides of information. When information has higher level of perceived intrinsic information quality, but lacks contextual weight or realistic applications, it might not facilitate job satisfaction. Some theoretical links has been elaborated in this study i.e., functions of basic, appropriate and actionable information.
