An investigation of factors driving virtual communities

Grantham , J. and Habel, C.

    Adopting the view that virtual communities are an important part of today�s social fabric, this study investigates the relationships between different factors commonly used to measure people�s attitudes towards virtual communities. The study reviews existing research in both traditional non virtual and virtual communities to build a more inclusive factor model which includes the idea of motivation and de-motivation found in Herzberg's motivation-hygiene theory.
