  abstract = {The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors that influence a student’s concern for presenting a professional online image.  Drawing on existing research, the paper develops a model of professional online image concern which is then validated through a survey-based field study. The survey was administered to students at two large universities in Australia and the Midwest United States.  The results show that privacy concern, social factors and being on the job market are factors which significantly influence a student’s concern for presenting a professional online image.  The results presented in the paper shed light on the motivations of students as they use social networking sites.  Through an understanding of these motivations, faculties will be better able to design interventions to modify negative posting behavior.  Likewise, understanding student motivations will allow hiring managers and other practitioners to use social networking more effectively as a candidate screening tool.},
