Background of the study:
Social media has revolutionized communication, yet its integration into the workplace presents unique challenges. In IT firms located in Calabar South, Cross River State, social media policies have become critical in managing distractions and ensuring productivity (Adams, 2023). This study examines the influence of structured social media policies on workplace efficiency, particularly in fast-paced technological environments. IT firms have instituted guidelines to regulate the use of social media during work hours, aiming to strike a balance between connectivity and focus (Brown, 2024). The research investigates how these policies affect employee behavior, communication, and overall productivity. It further explores the tension between digital connectivity and work performance, assessing both the benefits and potential drawbacks of restrictive policies (Clark, 2025). By synthesizing quantitative productivity data with qualitative employee insights, the study provides a nuanced perspective on how social media influences work dynamics in IT settings. It aims to identify best practices for social media governance that foster a productive yet flexible work environment.

Addressing these problems is essential for ensuring a balanced work environment (Brown, 2024; Clark, 2025).
