Intention to share: the relationship between cybersecurity behaviour and sharing specific content in Facebook

Abstract

Introduction. Sharing information on Facebook is becoming increasingly popular. Sharing text, video, voice, and pictures with unique content of the language-specific and sacred text, is becoming a trend. Consequently, issues of secure and trustable content have become increasingly important to all netizens. This issue has its foundations in the intention to share behaviour where the emphasis is on user security behaviour when sharing specific content. Method. The proposed theory was adapted and modified from previous research to empirically evaluate survey data collected from 154 Facebook users. A snowball sampling method was used. Analysis. A quantitative analysis was carried out on the data, which related to 154 Facebook users. This analysis used SmartPLS software. Results. The experience of information sharing was found to be an important determinant of personal outcome expectation as it explained about 89.9 per cent of the total variance. The ability to create and share information, subjective norms, feedback, information sharing self-efficacy, personal outcome expectations, and information security behaviour have become most important factors when intending to share specific content on Facebook. Conclusions. There is a theoretical understanding of security behaviour as a factor that promotes specific-content sharing behaviour on Facebook.

Is Covid‐19 changing sustainable consumer behavior? A survey of Italian consumers

“…Accordingly, participants were asked to respond to the questionnaire and share the survey as much as possible. The snowball sampling method is widely applied in the literature (e.g., Agadayi et al, 2021 ; Kooli et al, 2019 ; Tamrin et al, 2021 ), especially by studies on consumer behavior (Alaimo et al, 2020 ; Di Renzo et al, 2020 ; Jian et al, 2020 ; Peluso et al, 2021 ).…”

Factors that influence knowledge workers’ communication on social-media: Self-efficacy as mediator

“…This paper tries to examine those links based on Bandura's SCT, which assumed practical knowledge as among the foundations of SE that can further estimate associated conducts at workplace (Kaoutroubas and Galanakis, 2022). Besides, this study used the nding of a prior academic work quoting SCT, which con rmed that SM practical knowledge or knowledge-sharing involvements signi cantly enhances SE and then users' intentions to share contents on SM (Tamrin et al, 2021).…”
