Abstract
The present research explains members' intention to continue sharing knowledge in a virtual community in terms of knowledge self-efficacy and satisfaction. The research model was tested with the current users of a virtual professional community (Hong Kong Education City) and was accounted for 32% of the variance. Both knowledge self-efficacy and satisfaction play an important role in explaining members' intention to continue sharing knowledge. The findings contribute to the foundation for future research aimed at improveing our understanding of user continuance behavior in virtual communities. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
