ABSTRACT

If we observe the formation of communities of people and participation methods within them, we can see that those communities are developing more efficiently due to the penetration of smart phones and the growth of SNS. This trend also has an impact on information sharing activity between people and enables more active information sharing than ever before. But information sharing on SNS does not just involve the SNS users sharing information with each other. Important factors affecting the information sharing activities include the type of relationship between the users and the attitude of the information sharing individuals. Accordingly, this study selected perceived social support, perceived social influence, and perceived network structure as the factors that affect the continuous intention of people to use SNS, and performed a higher order factor analysis on those factors. Between continuous intention to use SNS and intention to share information, we selected relationship quality and information sharing behavior and executed a path analysis between the factors. We carried out an empirical analysis by utilizing SPSS 18.0 and SmartPLS 2.0 as analysis tools. Using these tools, we investigated the factors influencing continuous intention to use SNS, and tested the significance between the role and path of relationship quality and information sharing behavior between continuous intention to use SNS and intention to share information.
