Knowing Your Place: How Status Presentation Affects Participation Intentions in an Online Community
This research explores how status presentation (points vs. titles) affects participation intentions in an online community. Titles generate greater participation intentions than points, mediated by community connectedness. Role clarity drives the impact of community connectedness on participation intentions. Degree of community virtuality and level of user engagement moderate the effect.
