Abstract: Social network sites (SNSs) - as an application of the Web 2.0 - play an important role in the redefinition of communication and social networking. Despite the massive influence of SNSs regarding our networking-behavior in terms of both, private and business matters, little is known about how motivational components (especially considering the affiliation-, achievement- and power motive) affect user behavior in SNSs. First studies like those of Heser et al., (2015) showed first impressions of how a person’s motivational setup influences the utilization of SNSs. However there is still a wide knowledge gap when applying the few findings to SNSs such as Xing and LinkedIn, which focus on business-relevant usability. This article intends to assess a theoretical overview, highlighting not only findings but also known gaps. We conclude with our planned steps of future examinations and a recommendation for further research of the motive-related influence on user behavior in (busines s-) SNSs. (More)
