Purpose Internet user privacy risks have been a topical subject with respect to consumers, corporations and governments. In line with the recent privacy scandals linked to social media, the aim of this study is to explore users’ privacy protection behaviors (PPB) on Facebook through the actions they take to protect their privacy, their underlying motives and the values behind these protective actions. Moreover, this study aims to address an unintended consequence of Facebook usage. Despite Facebook’s positive and uplifting goal of connecting people, consumers are forced to resort to specific behaviors to protect their privacy and well-being. Design/methodology/approach This study adopts an exploratory research approach by using a well-established qualitative technique: structured laddering interviews. In total, 20 in-depth personal interviews were conducted with the Millennials. Findings Results show that the process of privacy protection is initiated by experiences, uncertainty and literacy, rather than threats, which leads to concerns that trigger PPBs. The most common PPBs include: “Reflection,” “Avoidance,” “Intervention,” “Restriction,” “Control,” and “Restraint.” The underlying motives for the adoption of these strategies include: “Success,” “Security,” “Social Recognition,” “A World of Peace,” “Exclusivity of Self,” “Being in Control,” “Meaning” and “True Friendship”. Originality/value The present research adopts a transdisciplinary framework to help fill the gap regarding the interplay of PPBs on Facebook, the triggers of those behaviors and their underlying motives. It contributes to the service literature and practice as it provides insights into a growing area of interest, whereas more social media channels are being created and more services are using social media strategies to engage and interact with their customers. Finally, it addresses the growing need to consider the impact of technological services, including internet and social media, on consumers’ and societies’ well-being.

Background:ADisaster is a serious disruption occurring over a short or long period of time that causes widespread human, material, economic or 1 environmental loss which exceeds the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources . The key to reducing the loss of 2 life, personal injuries, and damage from natural disasters is widespread public awareness and education . Disaster management includes prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery for which, regular training and awareness activities are needed especially among students to greatly reduce the impact of disasters. Materials and Methods: It was an educational interventional design with an exploratory research approach adopting nonprobability purposive sampling technique, which was conducted among 178 students of government high school, aged 16-18years in Vijayawada from July 2019 to September 2019. Apre-tested structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Data collected was analyzed with SPSS v20.0. Result: Awareness regarding disaster management among high school students was found to be 59.9 % and after the intervention, the awareness level raised to 90.6 %. Paired t-test test showed that there was statistically signicant (p<0.05) improvement in awareness among students after an educational intervention. Conclusion: These ndings emphasize that the extent of knowledge is not yet satisfactory and there is a severe need of providing knowledge to school children. Disaster management chapters should be incorporated as a part of the regular school curriculum for all students. Effective, purposeful training and awareness programs are to be timely conducted.
