Collective impression management and collective privacy concerns in co-owned information disclosure: the mediating role of relationship support and relationship risk

Yafei Feng, Yan Zhang, Lifu Li

Summary: This study explores the co-owned information disclosure of social network platform users from a collective perspective rather than an individual perspective based on collective privacy calculus theory and impression management theory. The findings show that self-presentation and others presentation directly positively affect users' co-owned information disclosure. Additionally, self-presentation, others presentation, and relationship presentation indirectly positively affect users' co-owned information disclosure via relationship support, while personal privacy concern, others' privacy concern, and relationship privacy concern indirectly negatively affect users' co-owned information disclosure via relationship risk.

Negative workplace gossip and knowledge hiding: roles of duty orientation and psychological entitlement

Lijing Zhao, Maria Khalid, Abdul Karim Khan, Yufei Ma

Summary: Drawing on social exchange theory, this study examined the impact of negative workplace gossip on knowledge hiding behaviors. The results showed that negative workplace gossip has a positive association with knowledge hiding behaviors, which is mediated by duty orientation. Additionally, psychological entitlement strengthens the negative influence of negative workplace gossip on duty orientation. However, the indirect effect of negative workplace gossip on knowledge hiding behaviors through duty orientation is stronger for employees with high psychological entitlement compared to those with low levels of psychological entitlement.

Dr. Anonymous is still there: a revisit of legal scholarly publishing

Hui Li, Xingmei Zhang

Summary: Authorship is the core of academic research reward system, but the study shows the existence of over 1.4 million anonymous publications in the past century, which poses a threat to authorship-based research evaluation and scholarly communication systems. Although the number of anonymous citable items has been decreasing, it still remains significant in fields like Law. Journals like Harvard Law Review continue the tradition of anonymous publishing, which deserves more attention regarding its impact on research evaluation and scholarly communication.
