| Summary: | The meteoric rise in the popularity and functionality of social networking sites (SNSs) has provided a new magnitude for social interaction and connection. Due to this expansion, selfdisclosure has become integral to all Internet communication. Specifically, users’ personal information is readily accessible everywhere on the network, causing users to reconsider their privacy management. The application of privacy boundaries assisted SNS users in striking a balance between disclosing and withholding personal information. Since religion plays a significant role in human lives, it strongly influences an individual’s perception of privacy and its perseverance. As such, this study guided by the Communication Privacy Management theory (CPM) investigates the relationship between boundary permeability, boundary ownership, boundary linkages and religiosity on self-disclosure in Facebook. This study also identifies the mediating effect of religiosity on boundary permeability, boundary ownership, boundary linkages and self-disclosure in Facebook. This study employs a quantitative research design using the online survey questionnaire as the data collection instrument. Using simple random sampling, 389 students from various faculties at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) participated in this study. This study found that boundary permeability, boundary ownership, and boundary linkages are significantly associated with self-disclosure on Facebook, whereas religiosity is not. In addition, there is no evidence that religiosity mediates the relationship between boundary permeability, boundary ownership, and boundary linkages in Facebook self-disclosure. This study supports using the Communication Privacy Management theory as a reliable foundation for understanding privacy management practices among social media users. |
