Abstract

Abstract Academic social network sites (ASNS) are a special case of social networking sites, providing a professional identity for management scholars online. Due to the particular requirements of academic work, usage patterns deviate from those on other social networking sites. The study presented here takes an in‐depth look at needs and gratifications in the usage of ASNS. In contrast to earlier studies of the same kind, it includes social influence from the academic community as another theoretical lens to identify cross‐individual effects. Based on 19 interviews with members of a community in business and management research, the study discusses knowledge and information transfer, enjoyment and entertainment, social interaction and professional belonging, self‐promotion and escapism as critical issues in using ASNS. For each of these issues, the study reveals various patterns in which gratifications are affected by social influence. They can be considered as specific characteristic of ASNS in the contexts of scientific research and teaching that contribute to a better understanding of the specificities of social media usage in academia.

在自我营销与合作之间:研究者在学术社交网站使用中的身份形成
学术社交网站(ASNS)是社交网站的一种特殊形式,为管理学者在网上提供一种职业身份。由于学术工作的特殊要求,使用模式与其他社交网站有所不同。本研究对ASNS使用中的需求和满足进行了深入的研究。与早期的同类研究相比,它将学术界的社会影响作为另一个理论视角来识别交叉个体效应。本研究通过对19名商业和管理研究社区成员的访谈,讨论了知识和信息传递、享受和娱乐、社会互动和职业归属、自我提升和逃避主义是使用ASNS的关键问题。对于这些问题,研究揭示了满足受社会影响的各种模式。在科学研究和教学的背景下,它们可以被视为ASNS的特定特征,有助于更好地理解学术界社交媒体使用的特殊性。
