Samtidigt som organisationen vill uppmuntra sina anställda att agera som ambassadörer på sociala medier, vill man också kontrollera medarbetarnas röst för att säkra ett enhetligt budskap. Detta utgör således en spänning mellan kontroll och frihet av medarbetarToday there is an increased understanding of employees' communicative role in organizations, which can be understood through the concept of ambassadorship.
