“…The research findings also support the suggestion that gender plays a moderating role in individuals' decision to use SNS for information sharing (e.g. Berings & Adriaenssens, 2012;Kwahk & Lee, 2008;Nemati et al, 2014;Tifferet, 2019), and give an interesting basis for future researchers to explore the gender differences in users' perceptions of SNS. Awareness of gender differences means that SNS designers will be able to create privacy features that are more user-friendly, and as a result, business will be able to capture customer information more effectively.…”

This paper undertakes to explore the perceptions of academics regarding information sharing on social network sites (SNS) and related privacy issues. Specifically, the paper was designed targeting academics using SNS to disseminate information and/or for other academic purposes. The paper is based on a mixed method research, the exploratory stage consequential for the confirmatory stage of the research. The findings of the research highly the complex relationships between personal information collection and usage (PICU) factors, personal information control (PIC) factors, and awareness of the effectiveness of privacy policy (AEPP) factors. This culminates in the formulation of a research model based on the theory of reasoned action. Given that the research took place within a context where gender is significant in shaping the worldview of the individual, groups, and society, the paper also seeks to contribute to the existing gender-based narrative on information sharing and privacy issues on SNS, mainly demystifying gender-based stereotypes.

“…Our finding that women may be more hesitant to share passive data is consistent with previous studies suggesting that women are less likely to share private social media information [20]. In our exploratory analyses, owing to our sample sizes, we compared whites with everyone who did not fall under that category (a diverse group of people who selected anything other than white).…”

“…The analysis was exploratory as we did not find extant research on such a relationship. Building upon previous studies that suggested that women are less likely to share private social media information [20], we hypothesized that women would be less likely to share passive data as well. Although relevant research findings are mixed [21], we hypothesized that people of racial minority groups, compared with whites, would be less likely to share, given similar research on health research participation (eg, a study investigating African American participation [22]).…”

BackgroundPsychiatry research has begun to leverage data collected from patients’ social media and smartphone use. However, information regarding the feasibility of utilizing such data in an outpatient setting and the acceptability of such data in research and practice is limited.ObjectiveThis study aimed at understanding the outpatients’ willingness to have information from their social media posts and their smartphones used for clinical or research purposes.MethodsIn this survey study, we surveyed patients (N=238) in an outpatient clinic waiting room. Willingness to share social media and passive smartphone data was summarized for the sample as a whole and broken down by sex, age, and race.ResultsMost patients who had a social media account and who were receiving talk therapy treatment (74.4%, 99/133) indicated that they would be willing to share their social media posts with their therapists. The percentage of patients willing to share passive smartphone data with researchers varied from 40.8% (82/201) to 60.7% (122/201) depending on the parameter, with sleep duration being the parameter with the highest percentage of patients willing to share. A total of 30.4% of patients indicated that media stories of social media privacy breaches made them more hesitant about sharing passive smartphone data with researchers. Sex and race were associated with willingness to share smartphone data, with men and whites being the most willing to share.ConclusionsOur results indicate that most patients in a psychiatric outpatient setting would share social media and passive smartphone data and that further research elucidating patterns of willingness to share passive data is needed.

“…Hajli and Lin (2016) reported that women (American students) were more cognizant of the information they shared on social networking sites and that their privacy risk perceptions regarding information collection on these sites adversely influenced their information sharing. In accordance with these findings, a recent meta-analytic study by Tifferet (2019) on gender differences in privacy tendencies on social networking sites showed that women tended to display greater privacy concerns, were more likely to activate privacy settings and “untag” themselves from photographs on such sites, and were less likely to disclose personal information on their social networking site profiles. Risk assessment (and, thus, the privacy calculus) may also be involved in such strategies.…”

Privacy in the workplace is a pivotal concern for employees and employers. Employees expect to be in control of the personal information and access they provide to the organization. Employers, however, expect extensive information regarding their employees as well as extensive access to employees’ presence. The chasm between these two often competing expectations has been magnified by regulatory and technological trends. We begin the review by integrating viewpoints from multiple disciplines to disentangle definitions of privacy and to delineate the privacy contexts of information privacy and work environment privacy. We then identify the key stakeholders of privacy in the workplace and describe their interests. This discussion serves as a platform for our stakeholders’ privacy calculus model, which in turn provides a framework within which we review empirical findings on workplace privacy from organizational research and related disciplines and from which we identify gaps in the existing research. We then advance an extensive research agenda. Finally, we draw attention to emerging technologies and laws that have far-reaching implications for employees and employers. Our review provides a road map for researchers and practitioners to navigate the contested terrain of workplace privacy.
