ABSTRACT

This study investigated what factors influence the knowledge contribution in online communities. Based on the theoretical framework like self-presentation theory and organizational citizenship behavior theory, we developed the research model and proposed four hypotheses. In order to test our hypotheses with an empirical study, we have conducted a survey which resulted in 192 valid responses in the final sample. The PLS analysis results indicate that knowledge contribution is influenced by self-presentation, innovation, organizational citizenship behavior, and affection similarity of online community users. Practical implications of these findings and future research implications are also discussed.
