With the increasing number of cases in which the role of individuals in the work environment has been influenced by the behaviors adopted at social online networking, the study had the purpose to identify the impacts of the online boundary management behaviors in the professional relationships. The data was collected by quantitative research, with 188 professionals that work at the Brazilian context with access to online social networks. The participants responded questionnaires related to four online boundary management behaviors (open, audience, content and hybrid) and their consequences to respect and liking. The results demonstrated that open behaviors are more likely to reduce respect and liking, in comparison to the audience, content and hybrid behaviors. Concerning audience behaviors, it has been verified that they are more likely to reduce respect and liking, in comparison to content and hybrid behaviors.
