“…'I think the people who know me and know anything about me I would tell anyway…it doesn't now become my only method of communicating with people' (extract 4:38). Rosie shows high levels of public-private self-awareness and associated self-monitoring skills (Frampton & Child, 2013). She also points to possible issues in the future when ex-pupils might invite her into their networks, noting that this would be difficult to decide upon.…”

“…This points to the peer pressure teachers can feel as to how they should connect in these public spaces, most keenly felt when a colleague makes a request to become connected. This poses a possible privacy dilemma for the teacher (Dindar & Akbulat, 2014;Frampton & Child, 2013). Rosie shows a sense of frustration between her personal i-position to create a social network of 'friends' and her professional i-position to meet the expectations of her local professional culture.…”

“…Jane, as also the sixth-form teachers Max, Belinda and Claire, talked about even dividing their activity within Twitter between different accounts and then using software, such as Tweetdeck TM , to manage the multiple feeds. Using multiple platforms and operating sub-groups are strategies noted by Frampton & Child (2013) as allowing individuals to manage their privacy. From our conceptual perspective this can be explained by holding concurrently different i-positions.…”

“…The first, in line with reports from other studies (eg. Child et al, 2011;Frampton & Child, 2013), was to assert greater control by limiting what she revealed on her pages and her activity 'I generally don't post a lot myself, mainly because I have people on there who are colleagues who I don't necessarily see as a friend…I tend to use it to catch up with what everybody else is doing rather than promote what I am doing' (extract 4:36). The second was to cull or 'unfriend' members of her Facebook network.…”

“…Thinking with teachers about the identities (or i-positions) they hold when interacting in social networks can be helpful, especially in recognising the importance of context both externally and locally to the expression of these identities (Beijard et al, 2013;Day et al, 2005). Teachers need to be empowered to become self-aware and socially-aware such that all teachers can develop the high level of self-monitoring skills advocated by Frampton & Child (2013) and evidenced by teachers in this study such as Rosie and Jane. This may see them overcoming their sense of vulnerability and using social media more productively.…”

Coworker communication is defined as the communication between two individuals of equal organizational status, neither of which has authority over the other. While still understudied, the importance of coworker communication in workers' health, productivity, and organizational functioning is increasingly acknowledged. Peer coworker communication serves several vital functions in organizations, such as organizational socialization, peer mentoring, and social support. Common topics of peer coworker communication research include bullying, friendship, and romance. While peer coworker communication is studied from a variety of methodological and theoretical perspectives, future directions in this area of research are plentiful. Future research can further explore nuances of peer coworker friendship and romance, the impact of technology on coworker communication, the dark functions of coworker communication, and the influences of (and on) specific organizational communication variables, such as trust and identification.

Social Networking Sites (SNSs) have become an essential part of the daily lives of billions of people worldwide. Because SNS service providers use a revenue model that relies on data licensing (selling of user data), they share user data with other parties such as government institutions and private businesses. Sharing of user data to third parties raises several privacy concerns. Apart from privacy issues emanating from SNSs sharing user information with third parties, privacy issues may also emanate from users sharing information with SNS members. This study is motivated by the researchers' interest in investigating self-disclosure amongst Ghanaians especially from the perspective of privacy and trust primarily because of recent reports of revenge pornography and other self-disclosure related privacy violations on SNSs in Ghana. A survey was conducted on 523 students from three private universities in Ghana. Out of the 523 questionnaires administered, 452 were validated for analysis. Data collected from the survey was analyzed using the Partial Least Square approach to Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) performed on SmartPLS Version 3. Results of the study show that privacy awareness, privacy invasion experience, and privacy-seeking behavior have a significant effect on trust in SNS members. Privacy concern was found not to have a significant effect on trust in SNS members. Privacy awareness, privacy concerns, privacy invasion experience, and privacy-seeking behavior were found to have a significant effect on trust in the SNS service provider. Trust in SNS members and trust in the SNS service provider were found to have a significant effect on SNS selfdisclosure. Theoretical and practical implications of the study are also discussed.
