Social Media at Work in Finland (WorkSome)
WorkSome aims to explore how social media is used for work purposes, and the relationship to perceived wellbeing and illbeing for Finnish employees. Data was first collected in mid-March 2019, with over 1,800 adult employees from across Finland recruited from a pool of volunteers using a stratified sampling strategy. Data has been collected every 6 months since the study began, with 12 data timepoints as of the end of 2024, continuing into 2025.
