Information-sharing Workarounds in Enterprise Social Networks: Privacy-related Triggers

<p dir="ltr">Given current trends in digitalization and the increased need to understand ways to improve remote work, it's imperative for IS to understand the emergence of non-compliant behaviors of workers to ESN implementation. This research-in-progress proposed a model into how privacy concerns might trigger workarounds while implementing Enterprise Social Networks (ESN), expanding our understanding of the types of information-sharing workarounds that might be pursued and the steps that might explain such decision process. The model focuses on privacy triggers that might react to this visualization affordances of these technologies. The proposed model emphasizes the important role of privacy management and the alternative responses to managerial trends that favor openness and transparency for organizing. It contributes to the literature on how privacy and transparency jointly affect human behavior and, more specifically, technological use.</p>
