چکیده
فراگیر بودن پلتفرم های رسانه های اجتماعی که به طور فزاینده ای جلوه های بصری را بر متن پیش می برند، منجر به افزایش محتوای بصری تولید شده توسط سازمان شده است. این مطالعه به یک سوال کم بررسی در مورد این پدیده می پردازد: کدام ویژگی محتوای بصری تولید شده توسط سازمان با سطوح بالاتر مشارکت عمومی در رسانه های اجتماعی مرتبط است؟ تعامل به عنوان شاخص های تعامل سطح اول مانند لایک ها و نظراتی که نشان دهنده وابستگی و حمایت از سازمان است، مفهوم سازی می شود. با استفاده از یک چارچوب نشانهشناختی اجتماعی بصری، یک نمونه بهطور تصادفی انتخاب شده از تصاویر ارسال شده در اینستاگرام و فیسبوک توسط چهار برند پیشرو فرودگاهی در سال ۲۰۱۹ (N = ۴۰۰) برای معانی بازنمایی، تعاملی و ترکیبی کد گذاری شد. یافتهها نشان داد که در سراسر پلتفرمها، روایت تصاویر، و ویژگیهای تعاملی فاصله و دیدگاه، تعامل را افزایش میدهد، در حالی که ویژگی ترکیبی کادر بندی، تعامل در اینستاگرام را افزایش میدهد. پیامدهای یافتهها برای محتوای بصری مؤثر تولید شده توسط سازمان در رسانههای اجتماعی مورد بحث قرار میگیرد.

Abstract
The ubiquity of social media platforms that increasingly foreground visuals over text has led to a rise in organization-generated visual content. This study addresses an underexamined question about this phenomenon: which characteristics of organization-generated visual content are associated with higher levels of public engagement in social media? Engagement is conceptualized as indicators of first level engagement such as likes and comments that represent affiliation with and support for the organization. Employing a visual social semiotic framework, a randomly selected sample of visuals posted on Instagram and Facebook by four leading airport brands in 2019 (N = 400) was coded for representational, interactive, and compositional meanings. Findings revealed that across platforms narrativity of images, and interactive features of distance and point of view enhanced engagement, while the compositional feature of framing increased engagement on Instagram. Implications of the findings for effective organization-generated visual content on social media are discussed.
Introduction
Every second, 1046 photographs are uploaded on Instagram and 87,926 videos are viewed on YouTube (Internet live stats, 2021). The massive uptake of social media platforms that tend to foreground visual imagery over text has enhanced the production and consumption of visuals over social media, leading to the visual acculturation of social media users (Dhanesh, 2017a, Dhanesh & Rahman, 2021; Edwards, 2018). 91% of consumers now prefer visual over text-based media (Forbes, 2018) and in an age of rapid information consumption, content with images generate far more user engagement than content without images (Li & Xie, 2020; Brubaker & Wilson, 2018).
Results and analyses
Since the values of user engagement (i.e., numbers of likes and comments) were highly skewed, those values were log-transformed to normalize the distributions for the analysis (Larose & Larose, 2014). The descriptive raw values (untransformed) of user engagement are summarized in Table 2. As seen in Table 2, likes and comments are higher on Instagram when compared to Facebook for all brands, although the number of followers is higher on Facebook than Instagram.
4.1. Representational enhancers of public engagement
H1 predicted that visual content with narrative images will generate more user engagement than those without narrative images. The results of T-tests showed that on Instagram, the narrative images (M = 3.33, SD = 0.31) generated significantly higher numbers of likes than the nonnarrative images (M = 3.22, SD = 0.27), t (198) = 2.03, p < .05. However, there was no significant difference between the comments generated by narrative images (M = 1.34, SD = 0.38) and by nonnarrative images (M = 1.30, SD = 0.38), t (198) = 0.59, p = .56.
H1:. Content with narrative images will generate more public engagement than those without narrative images
H2:. Visuals that employ subjects with direct gaze will have higher public engagement than visuals that employ subjects with indirect or averted gaze
H3:. Visuals that employ close up shots of the subject will have higher public engagement than visuals that employ medium or long shots
H4:. Visuals that employ high salience will have higher user engagement than visuals with low salience
