Purpose

The advancement of enterprise social networks (ESNs) facilitates information sharing but also presents the challenge of managing information boundaries. This study aims to explore the factors that influence the information-control behavior of ESN users when continuously sharing information.

Design/methodology/approach

This study specifies the information-control behaviors in the “wall posts” channel and applies communication privacy management (CPM) theory to analyze the effects of the individual-specific factor (disposition to value information), context-specific factors (work-relatedness and information richness) and risk-benefit ratio (public benefit and public risk). Data on actual information-control behaviors extracted from ESN logs are examined using multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression analysis.

Findings

The study's findings show the direct effects of the individual-specific factor, context-specific factors and risk-benefit ratio, highlighting interactions between the individual motivation factor and ESN context factors.

Originality/value

This study reshapes the relationship of CPM theory boundary rules in the ESN context, extending information-control research and providing insights into ESNs' information-control practices.

企业社交网络中的公共信息共享：通信隐私管理视角

目的

企业社交网络（ESN）的进步促进了信息共享，但也带来了管理信息边界的挑战。本研究旨在探究ESN用户在持续共享信息时影响信息控制行为的因素。

设计/方法论/途径

本研究明确了“墙帖”渠道中的信息控制行为，并应用通信隐私管理（CPM）理论来分析个体特定因素（对价值信息的处置）、情境特定因素（工作相关性和影响力）的影响。信息丰富度）和风险收益比（公共利益与公共风险）。使用多级混合效应逻辑回归分析检查从 ESN 日志中提取的实际信息控制行为数据。

发现

研究结果显示了个人特定因素、环境特定因素和风险收益比的直接影响，强调了个人动机因素和ESN环境因素之间的相互作用。

原创性/价值

本研究重塑了ESN背景下CPM理论边界规则的关系，扩展了信息控制研究并为ESN的信息控制实践提供了见解。
