This study aims to explore the relationships between users' multidimensional psychological needs and multiple social interaction patterns in SNS.Design/methodology/approachBased on Maslow's hierarchy of needs and use and gratifications (U&G) theory, the authors develop the research model to examine the effects of psychological needs on DOSIP. A survey is used to collect the data of SNS users' social interaction. The authors adopt structural equation modeling–neural network (SEM-NN) integrated method to examine the research model.FindingsNeed to belong, need for self-esteem, need for social contact, need for emotional expression, need for cognition, and need for external-esteem have significant influences on both active and passive social interactions respectively.Originality/valueBased on the categorization of DOSIP into six types in terms of the level of activity and disclosure of social interaction, the authors construct an integrated research model of multidimensional psychological needs to multiple social interaction patterns, and validate the antecedents of DOSIP from the perspective of psychological needs.

When adopting technologies to compete with digital players, predigital organisations face unique challenges because of their history and traditions. However, little is known about the role of organisational history on digital strategising. We conducted an in-depth historical case study of a traditional hardware store that is currently implementing a digital strategy. Grounded in a qualitative interpretative analysis, we find that organisational traditions were rewritten over time and continue to affect digital strategising practices. Adopting imprinting theory as a lens, we plan to develop a process model of digital imprinting that explains how traditions inform the emergence of digital imprints and their role in the making of digital strategy in predigital organisations

Literature to date lacks emphasis on a definition of the project startup phase and the tasks conducted during this phase. Whilst studies have explored causes of project failure to derive from the early stages of a project, limited studies have explored the impacts of project start-up tasks to a project’s execution and outcome. Using semi-structured interviews from 17 participants across 7 organizations, this study identifies the project start-up tasks and its impact to project delivery and outcomes from the perspective of in-house and outsourced projects. The start-up phase of each organization was then displayed in a comprehensive model depicting the substages within this phase, its corresponding tasks, and the ultimate outcome of each substage. Commonalities and variations within and across organizations are further highlighted.
