The objective of this work is to detect the variables that allow organizations to manage their social network services efficiently. The study, applying machine learning algorithms and multiple linear regressions, reveals which aspects of published content increase the recognition of publications through retweets and favorites. The authors examine (I) the characteristics of the content (publication volumes, publication components, and publication moments) and (II) the message of the content (publication topics). The research considers 21,771 publications and thirty-nine variables. The results show that the recognition obtained through retweets and favorites is conditioned both by the characteristics of the content and by the message of the content. The recognition through retweets improves when the organization uses links, hashtags, and topics related to gender equality, whereas the recognition through favorites increases when the organization uses original tweets, publications between 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. and, again, gender equality related topics. The findings of this research provide new knowledge about trends and patterns of use in social media, providing academics and professionals with the necessary guidelines to efficiently manage these technologies in the organizational field.
