This study aims to understand why certain users are inclined to lurk on SNS by proposing a theoretical framework that integrates self-presentational concerns, SNS fatigue and social presence.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Building upon the theoretical framework, a moderated mediation model is established to illustrate the mechanisms of lurking on SNS. Survey data were collected from 616 SNS users through an online survey and analyzed using the SPSS macro PROCESS.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The findings show that self-presentational concerns have positive and direct effects on lurking. Moreover, the relationship between self-presentational concerns and lurking is partially mediated by SNS fatigue. Furthermore, both the direct effect and the mediating effect are moderated by social presence.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This study offers a novel theoretical perspective on lurking behavior by introducing a moderated mediation model. The findings reveal intricate mechanisms underlying this specific SNS usage behavior and its connections to both self-presentational concerns and SNS fatigue, thereby enriching the existing literature on user engagement and inactivity on SNS. Furthermore, this research highlights the pivotal role of social presence in moderating the effects of self-presentational concerns, offering new insights into the dynamics of online social interactions.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/jsit-08-2022-0201","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,23]],"date-time":"2024-10-23T05:36:30Z","timestamp":1729661790000},"page":"641-658","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Self-presentational concerns and lurking among users on social networking sites: an empirical study based on a moderated mediation model"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Zheshi","family":"Bao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,25]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"key2024111308173388600_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"212","DOI":"10.1080\/0144929X.2022.2159873","article-title":"Conservation of resources theory perspective of social media ostracism influence on lurking intentions","volume":"43","year":"2024","journal-title":"Behaviour and Information Technology"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2024111308173388600_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"53","DOI":"10.1108\/JSIT-05-2019-0096","article-title":"An investigation of technology trust and habit in IT use continuance: a study of a social network","volume":"23","year":"2021","journal-title":"Journal of Systems and Information Technology"},{"issue":"3","key":"key2024111308173388600_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"472","DOI":"10.2307\/259305","article-title":"All in a day\u2019s work: boundaries and micro role transitions","volume":"25","year":"2000","journal-title":"The Academy of Management Review"},{"issue":"6","key":"key2024111308173388600_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1220","DOI":"10.1093\/jcr\/ucx112","article-title":"How the intention to share can undermine enjoyment: photo-taking goals and evaluation of experiences","volume":"44","year":"2018","journal-title":"Journal of Consumer Research"},{"volume-title":"Advanced Social Psychology: The State of the Science","year":"2010","key":"key2024111308173388600_ref005"},{"key":"key2024111308173388600_ref006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"148","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chb.2014.11.048","article-title":"Too much Facebook?
