Information privacy, gender differences, and intrinsic motivation in the workplace

作者:

Highlights:

• We examine the relationships between information privacy, gender differences, and intrinsic motivation.

• Information privacy can be defined as perceived control of information gathering (PCIG) and handling (PCIH).

• Both PCIG and PCIH had positive impacts upon intrinsic motivation, and the impact of PCIG was completely mediated by PCIH.

• The mediation process produced a stronger effect on intrinsic motivation for male employees than for female employees.

• The positive relationship between PCIG and PCIH was stronger for female employees than for male employees.
