| description | The purpose of this paper is to propose a model of
information-seeking behaviour (ISB) of international students when they are using social
media.A netnography is conducted on Facebook
and we evaluated the both posts/comments. A
thematic coding was performed on the both
posts/comments and we have identified two main
themes as information needs and information
source, which were divided into sub-themes.
Information needs are the information that
international students required in a new
environment. On the other hand, information source
provides the solutions to fulfil the information
needs. With the help of netnography and extant
literature, this paper proposes the model of ISB of international students’ use of social media. This study enhances the previous models of ISB and
offers future research direction in validating the
new model. |
