dc.description.abstractAs employees increasingly interact online through social media, boundaries between professional and personal lives are blurring. This study investigates employees’ drivers to engage in two online boundary management behaviours. Results from a survey of 200 employees suggest that self-enhancement is a driver for content boundary management behaviour and, contrary to the theory, not for hybrid boundary management behaviour. Employees’ preference for integration or segmentation of work and nonwork roles did not reinforce engagement in any of the boundary management behaviours. Findings from this research provide insight into the social media strategies employees adopt, which forms a starting point for further analysis into the influence of online boundary management behaviour on professional reputation.en_US
