최근의 비즈니스 환경에서 가장 두드러지게 나타나고 있는 특징 중의 하나는 인터넷의 보급과 발전으로 네트워크 환경이 구축되고 사이버 사회가 급속하게 발전하고 있다는 점이다. 이러한 환경에서 인터넷상에 가상의 공간과 사회가 만들어져 온라인 커뮤니티(online community)라는 개념이 생기기 시작하였다. 온라인 커뮤니티란 회원(멤버)들에 의해 이루어지는 커뮤니케티션과 이들에 의해 만들어지는 자생적인 컨텐츠(member-generated contents)의 통합이 컴퓨터를 매개로 하여 구축된 공간(Armstrong과 Hagel, 1996),또는 온라인상에서의 상호작용에 관계하고 있는 사람이나 집단(Williams와 Cotherel, 2000)을 의미한다.

This study investigates the relationships between extrinsic motivation (perceived usefulness), intrinsic motivation (perceived ease of use and perceived enjoyment), and attitude toward online community. With 252 valid responses, the research hypotheses are tested using by structured equation model. The results show that perceived ease of use affects perceived usefulness and perceived enjoyment, that perceived enjoyment has a positive impact on perceived usefulness and attitude toward online community, and that perceived usefulness positively influences attitude toward online community. The study can help IS managers and professionals plan their courses of action more effectively for users' continuous visits on online community.

In this study, we have developed an online learning community site using Humhub social network software and promote social constructive learning through the questions and answers in subject specific learning groups. By accumulating learning contents which consist of questions and answers about specific topics, learners can acquire knowledge by searching relevant topics and questions and can create and reconstruct knowledge as well as consuming knowledge by participating in self-regulated learning community. We have developed a mathematical editor feature which enables users to enter mathematical expression such as equations and greek characters. Online learning community sites can be used for inquiry based information education.

This study empirically examined the structural relationships among components of interactivity, affective commitment, and components of brand equity in on-line brand community. Interactivity was conceptualized as 4 components such as mapping, personalization, responsiveness and connectedness. Components of brand equity include brand associations, brand awareness, and brand loyalty. Using a sample of 127 university students of on-line brand community members in Busan, we empirically examined the study model. The results of this study showed that components of interactivity except connectedness had a significant effect on affective commitment, which in turn, had a significant positive effect on brand associations, brand awareness and brand loyalty.

온라인 채널의 발달로 전자상거래를 통한 거래와 수익 증가에 관한 많은 연구들이 진행되어왔으나 수익 원천으로써의 커뮤니티(Community)에 관한 연구는 제한적이다. Hagel(1997)은 커뮤니티를 미래 사업 모델의 중심축이 될 것으로 예측하고 커뮤니티의 수확체증효과와 수익증가역학고리, 커뮤니티 자산들을 통해 포탈 비즈니스 모델에 적합한 일방향적이고 순차적인 커뮤니티 형성 프로세스를 중심으로 제시하였다. 본 논문에서는 전자상거래의 형태에 따라 커뮤니티 형성 프로세스의 변화 형태는 차별화 된다는 사례들에 근거하여 e-비즈니스 모델에 따른 차별화 된 커뮤니티 성공요인, 커뮤니티 주요자산들의 중요도 차이, 전환비용발생 요인을 파악하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 커뮤니티 형성 프로세스의 구조적 변화 행태를 제시하였다. 본 연구는 온라인 비즈니스 도입 기업에게 비즈니스 모델과 연계하여 네트워크 외부 효과를 극대화하는 차별화 된 커뮤니티 활용 포커스와 수익성 향상을 위한 커뮤니티 형성 프로세스를 설계하는 프레임�p을 제시하였다는데 그 특징이 있다.

Research on the user motivation of online brand community, the flow, community identification, brand attachment and the structural relationships between them This study is focused on the utilization motives of online brand community (emotional motivation, social motivation, informational motives), and their influences on each motivation on the flow and structural relationships between the brand identification and attachment. For the research, hierarchical chi-squal analysis, was used among Structural Equation Models, to statistically verify the size between the two paths. First, the research has proven the positive influence of user motivation of online brand community on flow. Especially on this research, user motivation of online brand community on flow was divided and analyzed into three motivations; emotional motivation, social motivation, informational motivation, the social and emotional motivation are proven to have the biggest influence on the flow and informational motivation has comparatively low influence on the flow. Secondly, this research will prove that the type of flow built on user motivation of online brand community can give positive influence on community identification and brand attachment. And third, the influence of community identification on brand attachment is very high on the flow. Result will clearly shows the flow built on user motivation of online brand community can help build brand attachment through community identification.

This study examines how online community activity influences social capital and the moderating effect of personal characteristic between them. Hierarchical regression and two-way ANOVA analysis were conducted with 9,479 samples. The results show that online community activity positively associated with off-line social capital, and it is observed that the effect in older people is stronger than younger people. This study extends previous perspective on the online community activity toward social capital and empirically proves that the activity have also an impact on off-line social capital. The moderating effect of age implies that activation plans of community for older people are required in order to increase social capital.

With the advent of social networking activity on the Internet, online community sites are becoming more popular. The main purpose of this study is to empirically investigate the influence of intermediary trust and system trust on the forum activity trust and information quality satisfaction. We assume that the intermediary trust and system trust come from the online community site itself, while the forum activity is made within a specific forum allowed on the online community site, and therefore forum activity trust and information quality satisfaction are related to a specific forum. The 591 valid questionnaire data were gathered from the users acting in forums allowed on the Samsung Economic Research Institute (SERI) (www. seri.org). The empirical results are as follows. First, the SERI intermediary trust and its system trust have positive influence on the SERI forum information quality, system quality, and perceived effectiveness. Second, the SERI intermediary trust contributes to reducing the SERI forum perceived risks, while the SERI system quality does not. Third, the higher the SERI intermediary trust is, the higher the SERI forum trust and information quality satisfaction increase.

One of the challenges in online community management is what level of perceived anonymity can be granted to encourage active participation from members while discouraging unhealthy activities. Few studies developed a scheme of anonymity and investigated how different levels of anonymity influence community activities. This study develops a classification scheme of anonymity encompassing the following three different levels : (1) real name(no anonymity), (2) nickname (partial anonymity), and (3) random assignment of a temporal ID (complete anonymity). Then, it examines how different levels of anonymity influence trust and perceived risk, which in turn affect virtual team performance. A series of laboratory experiments were performed, manipulating the levels of anonymity, in the context of well-structured communities that allow prior interactions among community members. The data was collected from 364 laboratory participants and analyzed using ANOVA and PLS. The results indicate that the difference of anonymity between (2) and (3) had not be significant and the only (1) could not guarantee the anonymity. The impact of anonymity on trust and perceived risk could not be significant in this situation. These findings could contribute to make more beneficial member identification strategies in online community practice.
