“…The communication context overlapped with the context of informal learning in the workplace. The systematic literature review showed that in social media presentations of multiple selves, individuals blurred the boundaries between private and public spheres, and this could mainly be seen in a continuous process of reconstructing multiple selves (e.g., Lehti & Kallio, 2017). In addition, narratives helped adults to develop social media communication roles.…”

“…Defensive and accommodative organizational strategies and interactions are learned by following the social media narratives. These narratives could emerge not only from work colleagues or other professionals, but also from physically unrecognized persons (Jin et al, 2014;Lehti & Kallio, 2017;Quinton & Wilson, 2016). Jin et al (2014) highlighted that in social media both informational and emotional support could be provided.…”

“…Researchers focus on the interplay between professional identity construction, institutional conditions, and professional norms as a tight, regulated system, which is difficult to slow down. In organizational contexts, two more professional roles in addition to C. Li and Bernoff (2008), Jin et al (2014) and Lehti and Kallio's (2017) research, specifically "gap-spotter" (the rules follower, but not entirely in a negative sense) and "path-(up) setter" (a person who cares more about the ideas, but not the form of expression) are added.…”

“…Through self-regulated collective interactions, the blurring of boundaries between private and public spheres and the continuous process of social media identity (re)construction has been observed (Lehti & Kallio, 2017). These authors argue that personal narratives have always been a powerful and widely used device and discuss how social media narratives could structure and organize different professional opinions playing a crucial role in self-presentation.…”

The aim of this systematic review was to gather, review, summarize, and analyze the studies on professional identity construction in social media from various scholar perspectives. The search was conducted on the WoS Core Collection, Scopus, and EBSCOhost databases using keywords "professional identity construction" and "social media." Seventeen full-text articles were studied searching for the essential aspects of professional identity construction. Results discussed professional identity as a complex phenomenon with two dominating perspectives: (a) professional identity as a cognitive structure and (b) professional identity as a social construct. Cognitive structures of professional identity construction in social media were mainly or partially covered in education, communication, medicine, and medical tourism-related contexts. Studies that envisage professional identity as socially constructed dominate in management, organizational, medical tourism, and neuroscience. The core topics of professional identity construction cover the blurring of professional stereotypes and reconstruction of multiple professional selves; merging public and private identities; belonging to a group and trusting social media. In researched papers, scholars argue virtual behavior can be predicted and smart technologies could help maintain physical and psychological balance. Findings show the overlapping landscape of studies and identify areas for future interdisciplinary research.

“…Other research has also considered this separation in terms of private and public spheres and their role in the construction and maintenance of social media identities and the boundaries between them (Kasperiuniene & Zydziunaite, 2019;Lehti & Kallio, 2017). Hence, the personal narratives created for various social media identities are crucial in terms of identity construction.…”

Shape Shifting Across Social Media

Individuals change and adapt their behavior according to their social situation (e.g., transitioning from work to home). However, how does this shape shifting of self-presentations and identity translate into various online platforms? This exploratory study utilizes a novel and mixed methodological approach to better understand user behavior across social media platforms. We interviewed 22 participants and employed a repertory grid technique to reveal deeper similarities and differences in behavior across various online platforms. We found that users had a variety of strategies for managing multiple audiences across multiple platforms. Almost all participants actively separated their professional (e.g., LinkedIn) and social (e.g., Facebook or Instagram) oriented platforms typically by self-censorship of posts rather than utilizing audience management tools. Via the repertory grid technique, we revealed a number of more subtle nuances of how participants reflect on how and why they maintain a number of social media identities.
