Abstract：
Purpose
The privacy calculus based on a single stakeholder failed to explain users’ co-owned information disclosure owing to the uniqueness of co-owned information. Drawing on collective privacy calculus theory and impression management theory, this study attempts to explore the co-owned information disclosure of social network platform users from a collective perspective rather than an individual perspective.
Design/methodology/approach
Drawing on collective privacy calculus theory and impression management theory, this study explores the co-owned information disclosure of social network platform users from a collective perspective rather than an individual perspective based on a survey of 740 respondents.
Findings
This study finds that self-presentation and others presentation directly positively affect users’ co-owned information disclosure. Also, self-presentation, others presentation and relationship presentation indirectly positively affect users’ co-owned information disclosure via relationship support. Furthermore, personal privacy concern, others’ privacy concern and relationship privacy concern indirectly negatively affect users’ co-owned information disclosure via relationship risk.
Originality/value
The findings develop the theory of collective privacy calculus and impression management, which offer insights into the design of the collective privacy protection function of social network platform service providers.
