Disaster Information Sharing, Information Sharing, Structural Equation Modelling, SEM-PLS, TwitterAbstract
Twitter has become a major platform for disseminating disaster news,
providing people with disaster information quickly and precisely. A lot of
essential and valuable information can be obtained from this online platform.
Twitter users might be able to help with warnings and submit specific and
accurate information in a disaster situation. This research attempts to examine
factors that affect disaster information-sharing behavior. Furthermore, this
study aims to integrate personal, environmental, and information platform
factors to gain more insight into the factors influencing Twitter users'
willingness to share disaster information. The hypotheses were tested using
Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The result
showed that Altruism, Self-efficacy, Community Identity, and Information
Platforms significantly influence people's decisions to share disaster
information on Twitter.
