Summary
This study reveals how external factors stimulate continuous innovative knowledge contribution (CIKC). User self-efficacy partially mediates knowledge quantity, while knowledge level moderates contribution quality in open innovation communities.
Area of Science:
- Knowledge Management
- Open Innovation
- Organizational Behavior
Background:
- Understanding drivers of continuous innovative knowledge contribution (CIKC) is crucial for open innovation.
- Existing research often overlooks mediating and moderating mechanisms in knowledge contribution.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the stimulation mechanism of CIKC within an open innovation community.
- To analyze the mediating and moderating roles of internal factors on knowledge contribution quantity and quality.
Main Methods:
- Quantitative study employing a stimulus-organism-response framework.
- Path analysis using panel data from six periods over one year.
- Fixed effect model to test mediation, moderation, and mediated-moderation effects.
Main Results:
- User self-efficacy partially mediates the quantity of CIKC, but not the quality.
- User knowledge level negatively moderates the relationship between participation value and the quality of CIKC.
Conclusions:
- Self-efficacy and knowledge level are key internal factors influencing CIKC.
- Distinct mechanisms influence the quantity versus quality of continuous innovative knowledge contribution.

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.

In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Self-help support groups are voluntary, community-based organizations that provide a platform for individuals with shared concerns to exchange support, insights, and practical strategies for coping with life challenges. Typically led by group members or paraprofessionals, these groups form a cornerstone of mental health care, especially in reaching populations that are underserved by traditional healthcare systems.
