Sustainable Operation

In recent years, users have increasingly focused on the privacy of social networking sites (SNS); users have reduced their self-disclosure intention. To attract users, SNS rely on active platforms that collect accurate user information, even though that information is supposed to be private. SNS marketers must understand the key elements for sustainable operation. This study aims to understand the influence of motivation (extrinsic and intrinsic) and self-disclosure on SNS through soft computing theories. First, based on a survey of 1108 users of SNS, this study used a dominance-based rough set approach to determine decision rules for self-disclosure intention on SNS. In addition, based on 11 social networking industry experts’ perspectives, this study validated the influence between the motivation attributes by using Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL). In this paper, the decision rules of users’ self-disclosure preference are presented, and the influences between motivation attributes are graphically depicted as a flow network graph. These findings can assist in addressing real-world decision problems, and can aid SNS marketers in anticipating, evaluating, and acting in accord with the self-disclosure motivations of SNS users. In this paper, practical and research implications are offered.

Abstract Social networking sites like Facebook are popular and ever-expanding, especially among adolescents in Turkey. The study of 406 adolescents aged 14 to 18 (Mage = 15.61, SD = 1.16) provides novel insights into how adolescents from Turkey within a specific cultural framework, display certain kinds of self-presentation strategies. Using the Revised Self-Presentation Scale (RSPS; Lee et al., 1999) when coding adolescents’ profiles for strategies and information, we found that exemplification is the most utilized strategy followed by the ingratiation strategy. Self-report results differed from coded behavioral strategy use for intimidation and self-promotion, where there were higher levels of intimidation strategy than self-reported; for the self-promotion strategy, self-reported levels were higher than coded behavioral use. Particular strategy usage also predicted the sharing of types of information and the number of network friends.

Regular Practice

Les réseaux socionumériques d’entreprise (RSE) sont considérés comme des réseaux socionumériques (Rsn) internes, en référence notamment à Facebook. Ils semblent offrir aux utilisateurs usuels des Rsn l’occasion d’exploiter une compétence communicationnelle particulière, issue de cette pratique habituelle. Afin de vérifier la possibilité qu’une compétence communicationnelle émerge au niveau des membres de l’organisation, nous avons cherché si le modèle communicationnel du RSE était équivalent à celui de Facebook. A l’aide des concepts d’écrit d’écran, d’énonciation éditoriale et de la notion de signe passeur, nous avons analysé le discours de l’éditeur et de l’administrateur. Si l’univers de référence des pages analysées est celui de Facebook, elles ne proposent pourtant pas aux salariés de l’organisation les mêmes modalités communicationnelles. La compétence qu’ils peuvent mettre en œuvre au sein de ce dispositif est restreinte à l’expression du soi, et privée de son axe relationnel. L’analyse a également mis au jour l’écart entre le discours porté sur le RSE et sa concrétisation au sein d’une organisation. The enterprise social networks (ESN) are considered as internal social networking sites (SNS), especially in reference to Facebook. They seem to give to the usual users of the SNS the opportunity to make use of one particular communicative competence resulting from this regular practice. In order to confirm the eventuality that a communicative competence is emerging at the level of the members of the organization, we sought if the ENS’s communicative model was equivalent to Facebook’s one. Using the concepts of “screen writing” and “editorial enunciation”, and the notion of “conveyor sign”, we analysed publisher and administrator’s discourse. If the reference universe of the analysed pages is Facebook’s one, they however don’t offer to the organization’s employees the same communicative modes. The competence that they can apply within this apparatus is restricted to the expression of the self, without its relational line. The analysis also brought to the light the gap between the discourses on the ESN and its realization within an organisation.

Privacy And Anonymity

Social networking sites allow people to create, broadcast, and interpret the self in new and evolving ways. While early online social media studies praised the Internet for providing an anonymous space in which to experiment with identity, more recent research suggests that social networking sites have become not anonymous, as they compel users to perform identity in new ways. Through a novel application of affordance theory, this paper argues that instead of attempting to apply outdated definitions of privacy to social networking spaces, we should instead be discussing our right to anonymity. I argue that privacy is immaterial due to the fact that from the moment we log in and interact with a social media interface, we have shared some type of personal information with someone. Anonymity, on the other hand, is defined as the unlinkability of our many identifications. Thus, instead of attempting to define ideas such as “personal” and “private,” we should instead fight for the separation of selves, both at the social and institutional level.
