“…Policies may be legally defensible but result in situations that the public deems unjust (Drouin, O'Connor, Schmidt, & Miller, 2015), or that alienate workers who feel their privacy is being violated. When crafting policies and punishments, organizations may want to consider the values and perceptions of their own workforce and the customer base.…”

“…Research has shown that social network information does not relate to supervisor ratings of performance, turnover intentions, or actual turnover nor does it contribute to the prediction of cognitive ability, self-efficacy, or personality (van Iddenkinge, Lanivich, Roth, & Junco, 2013). Furthermore, applicants tend to oppose the use of social network information for employment decisions (Drouin, O'Connor, Schmidt, & Miller, 2015). For example, Brown and Vaughn (2011) suggest that selection procedure characteristics impact applicant's perceptions of fairness, and online background checks may violate individuals' sense of privacy.…”

Abstract:For human resource (HR) departments, screening job applicants is an integral role in acquiring talent. Many HR departments have begun to turn to social networks to better understand job candidates' character. Using social networks as a screening tool might provide insights not readily available from resumes or initial interviews. However, requiring access to an applicants' social networks and the private activities occurring therein-a practice currently legal in 29 U.S. states (Deschenaux, 2015)-could induce strong moral reactions from the job candidates because of a perceived loss of information privacy. Subsequently, such disclosure requests could induce job candidates to respond in a multitude of ways to protect their privacy. Given that an estimated 2.55 billion individuals will use social media worldwide by 2017 (eMarketer, 2013), the repercussions from requests for access social media environments have potentially far-reaching effects. In this research, we examine how one such disclosure request impacted six information privacy protective responses (IPPRs) (Son & Kim, 2008) based on the job candidates' perceived moral judgment and the perceived moral intensity of the HR disclosure request. These responses occurred when we asked respondents to provide personal login information during a hypothetical interview. By modeling data derived from a sample of 250 participants in PLS-SEM, we found that the five IPPRs (i.e., refusal, negative word of mouth, complaining to friends, complaining to the company, and complaining to third parties) were all significant responses when one judged the request to be immoral and perceived the moral intensity concept of immediate harm. The amount of variance explained by these five IPPRs ranged from 17.7 percent to 38.7 percent, which indicates a solid initial foundation from which future research can expand on this HR issue. Implications for academia and practice are discussed.

“…Ante la ausencia de instrumentos que evalúen este comportamiento adictivo surge la necesidad de analizar las propiedades psicométricas del BFAS para la detección temprana del riesgo de adicción al Facebook; sin embargo una de las dificultades hasta el momento es la ausencia de estudios instrumentales de una versión en español para la evaluación de la adicción al Facebook, insumo de utilidad para la identificación de conductas disruptivas, problemáticas y psicopatológicas relacionadas a esta adicción (Casale y Fioraventi, 2018;Dhaha, 2013;Drouin et al, 2015;Hormes et al, 2014;Meier et al, 2016;Satici y Uysal, 2015;Wang et al, 2015;Young et al, 2017). Es importante tomar en cuenta el reporte de las diferencias que pueden manifestarse en el comportamiento adictivo a redes sociales (por ejemplo, grupos de hombres y mujeres), que suelen ser un contraste con las adicciones a sustancias psicoactivas, debido a los rasgos específicos de personalidad que predisponen al trastorno adictivo con un mayor deterioro y la manifestación de estas diferencias según género para .…”

ResumenEl impacto de las redes sociales en la vida cotidiana se ha convertido complejo en el establecimiento de límites entre el uso normal y patológico que podría conllevar a un trastorno adictivo. El objetivo del presente estudio fue brindar evidencias de validez y fiabilidad de las puntuaciones de la escala BFAS en población de estudiantes universitarios. La evaluación de las evidencias de validez y fiabilidad se realizó en una muestra de 510 jóvenes universitarios. La edad promedio de los participantes fue de 20.74 años (DEedad=2.57) el 54,1% fueron mujeres, se presentaron ligeras diferencias a nivel de grupo (sexo) pero no a nivel de significancia práctica d=.18. Para medir la adicción al Facebook se utilizó la Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale (BFAS) y el cuestionario Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) como medida de contraste (r=.60) que representa el 36% de influencia de una variable sobre la otra. La estructura interna fue determinada bajo el análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC) que replico la unidimensionalidad (CFI=.994, RMSEA=.061). Además fue evaluada la equivalencia de medición mediante modelos de análisis factorial multigrupo (AFC-MG) donde se comprobó diferentes niveles de invarianza según sexo, edad y afectación académica. Fue corroborado el uso pertinente del coeficiente alfa de Cronbach mediante la implementación de restricciones en modelos confirmatorios para evaluar tau-equivalencia y medidas paralelas, donde obtuvo resultados adecuados de α=.84. Esta versión en español del BFAS brinda evidencias de validez y fiabilidad, que son útiles para la investigación debida su necesidad de inclusión en baterías que evalúen adicciones a redes sociales.Palabras clave: adicción, equivalencia de medición, facebook, fiabilidad, análisis factorialAbstractThe impact of social networks on daily life has become complex in establishing limits between normal and pathological use that could lead to an addictive disorder. The objective of this study was to provide evidence of validity and reliability of the BFAS scale in the population of university students. The evaluation of the evidences of validity and reliability was carried out in a sample of 510 university students. The average age of the participants was 20.74 years (DE age = 2.57), 54.1% were women, there were slight differences at the group level (sex) but not at the practical significance level d = .18. To measure Facebook addiction, the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale (BFAS) and the Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) questionnaire were used as a measure of contrast (r = .60), the level of influence of one variable over the other found was of 36% The internal structure was determined under the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) that replicated the one-dimensionality (CFI = .994, RMSEA = .061). In addition, the equivalence of measurement was evaluated using multigroup factor analysis models (CFA-MG) where different levels of invariance were found according to sex. The relevant use of the Cronbach alpha coefficient was corroborated by the implementation of restrictions in confirmatory models to evaluate tau-equivalence and parallel measures, where it obtained an optimal results of α = .84. This version on spanish of the BFAS provides evidence of validity and reliability, which are useful for research due to its need to be included in batteries that assess addictions to social networks.Key words: addiction, equivalence measurement, Facebook, reliability, factor analysis
