Background of the Study

In recent years, instant messaging (IM) has emerged as a fundamental tool for enhancing communication and collaboration within organizations. IM platforms, such as WhatsApp, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, provide immediate, informal, and effective communication channels that facilitate faster decision-making, project management, and information sharing. In Billiri Local Government Area (LGA) of Gombe State, many businesses and institutions are beginning to adopt these platforms to streamline internal communication processes. According to recent research (Abubakar & Bello, 2023; Ibrahim et al., 2024), IM has been proven to enhance collaboration by reducing communication delays and improving team coordination. However, despite the widespread use of IM, the specific impact on employee collaboration in the corporate communication context within Billiri remains underexplored. This study aims to investigate how IM platforms influence collaboration among employees in organizations based in Billiri, shedding light on their effectiveness in corporate communication practices.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

Although IM tools have gained popularity for fostering employee collaboration, many organizations in Billiri LGA still face challenges in fully exploiting their potential. Research by Abubakar and Bello (2023) suggests that issues such as information overload, miscommunication, and security concerns often undermine the effectiveness of IM platforms. Additionally, some organizations may lack formal policies on IM usage, which could result in inefficiency and confusion. This study seeks to bridge these gaps by analyzing the role of IM in enhancing employee collaboration and addressing the challenges organizations face in Billiri LGA.
