Core principle of communication privacy management referring to experience with WhatsApp groups and provide practical example the principle from own experiences:
5. When these boundaries aren't effectively controlled or adhered to, boundary turbulence results
One example of this principle can be experienced in WhatsApp groups. Let's say you are a member of a WhatsApp group with both colleagues and friends. The group originally started as a place to share work-related information or updates, but over time, personal conversations and gossip start to dominate the group discussions.
As these personal boundaries are not effectively controlled or adhered to, boundary turbulence can result. Some members may feel uncomfortable with the mix of professional and personal topics, leading to tension and potential conflicts within the group.
To address this issue, it may be helpful to establish clear guidelines or rules for the group, such as keeping conversations focused on work-related matters during business hours and shifting to personal topics after work hours. This can help maintain boundaries and prevent boundary turbulence from affecting the dynamics of the group.
