A Test of the Individual Action Model for Organizational Information Commons
研究基于信息商品特性扩展了经典集体行动模型，通过781名高科技企业员工数据检验个体对组织信息公地的贡献行为，发现信息生产、检索和成本影响感知价值，进而影响贡献水平。
This research elaborated and empirically tested the individual action component of the collective action model as applied to individual contributions to organizational information commons. The model extended prior theory and research by making six elaborations on the classic collective action model based on unique characteristics of information goods compared to material collective goods. The structural equation model was tested via LISREL analyses of data provided by 781 respondents in three high-tech firms who had access to corporate intranets as shared information goods. The results were highly similar across organizations and indicated that (a) level of production, information retrieval, and cost predicted the perceived value of information, (b) information value and cost predicted gain, and (c) information retrieval and gain predicted the level of individual contributions to the commons.
