Abstract

This research aims to explore whether a relationship exists between the personal use of Facebook and hospitality students’ group engagement, thus shedding light to what retains connectedness and engagement for hospitality students working in groups in the more prominent educational area of Malaysia. The results indicated that Facebook is dominantly perceived by students as a social network that is solely utilized for personal reasons albeit the fact students were found to utilize Facebook as a tool for collaborative group work purposes.
