Abstract

Sosyal paylaşım siteleri; kullanıcıların içerik paylaşabildikleri ve diğer kullanıcılarla iletişim ve etkileşim kurabildikleri alanlardır. Türkiye’de en çok kullanılan sosyal paylaşım siteleri sırasıyla Youtube, Instagram, Whatsapp, Facebook ve Twitter’dir. Bireyler sosyal paylaşım sitelerinde geçirdikleri süre boyunca durum güncellemesi, fotoğraf, video, yorum, deneyim veya reklam paylaşımı vb. gibi farklı türlerde bilgi paylaşımında bulunmaktadırlar. Bu bilgi akışı sonucunda sosyal paylaşım siteleri kullanıcıları hakkında pek çok veri elde etmekte ve söz konusu verilerle ticari kar sağlayabilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı kullanıcıları sosyal paylaşım sitelerinde bilgi paylaşma niyetine yönelten unsurların ortaya çıkarılması ve bu davranışının kadın ve erkekler üzerinde nasıl farklılaştığını belirlemektir. Bu amaca yönelik olarak bu çalışmada doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA), yapısal eşitlik modeli (YEM) analizi, ölçüm denklik testi ve çoklu grup analizi (ÇGA) gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analizler sonucunda; mahremiyet riskinin bilgi paylaşma tutumunu negatif ve bağlılığın pozitif etkilediği ve bilgi paylaşma tutumu ve öznel normların bilgi paylaşma niyetini pozitif etkilediği bulunmuştur. Sosyal bağların bilgi paylaşma tutumu üzerindeki etkisi ise anlamlı bulunmamıştır. Son olarak, yalnızca tutumun sosyal paylaşım sitelerinde bilgi paylaşma niyeti üzerindeki etkisinin cinsiyete göre farklılaştığı ve bu etkinin kadınlarda erkeklerden daha fazla olduğu bulunmuştur.

Intention to Share Information on Social Sharing Sites and the Role of Gender

Abstract

Social networking sites; are areas where users can share content and communicate and interact with other users. The most used social networking sites in Turkey are Youtube, Instagram, Whatsapp, Facebook and Twitter, respectively. Individuals can share status updates, photos, videos, comments, experiences or advertisements during their time on social networking sites. They share different types of information, as a result of this flow of information, social networking sites obtain a lot of data about their users and can generate commercial profit with the data. The aim of this study is to reveal the factors that lead users to share information on social networking sites and to determine how this behavior differs on men and women. For this purpose, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), structural equation model (SEM) analysis, measurement equivalence test and multiple group analysis (MGA) were performed in this study. As a result of the analysis; It was found that the risk of privacy affects the information sharing attitude negatively and the commitment effects the information sharing attitude positively and the information sharing attitude and subjective norms both affect the information sharing intention positively. The effect of social ties on knowledge sharing attitude was not found significant. Finally, it was found that only the effect of attitude on the intention to share information on social networking sites differs according to gender, and this effect is higher in women than in men.
