What motivates online community contributors to contribute consistently? A case study on Stackoverflow netizens
2023
Overview
Online Question and answer (Q&A) communities are the common and famous platforms to learn and share knowledge and are very useful for every knowledge seeker. Less knowledge contribution is a critical issue for the sustainability and future of these platforms. The motivation of inactive users to participate in Q&A communities is a real challenge. Based on the social cognitive and social exchange theory, we have studied the knowledge contribution patterns of active and consistent StackOverflow users over the last eleven years. We have used a difference generalized method of moments estimator to estimate the proposed model. Results revealed that reciprocation of knowledge and social interaction positively, whereas knowledge seeking of active and consistent users negatively influences knowledge contribution. Peer recognition and repudiation have partially positive and negative effects on users’ knowledge contribution. This research offers theoretical and practical suggestions to encourage people to contribute their knowledge to online Q&A communities.
