In this thesis, I conduct a case study of a virtual community (Metafilter.com) in order to apply Pierre Bourdieu's theory of capital and class to an online community. The specific goals for this thesis are in mapping the different forms of capital that are active in Metafilter in order to see how they structure its social space. The questions I address are: 1) what forsm of capital are active in the Metafilter community? 2) How are they similar to the forms of capital presented by Bourdieu? Having identified the active forms of capital, 3) do they act to influence stratification in the Metafilter community?vi, 129 leaves ; 29 cm.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation presents an investigation of a rarely studied business entity in the cross disciplinary literature on organizational culture, a completely virtually organized firm. Subscribing to a conviction that any culture can only be understood through an approach that uncovers the lived experiences of its members, I employ the traditional anthropological method of participant observation as my foundational data gathering technique. In an effort to help engage anthropology with the cross disciplinary organizational culture literature generally, I also use two well-known methods of corporate culture assessment from the management sciences. I provide a number of recommendations to the sponsors of the research for addressing problems that relate directly to worker morale and performance and which, consequently, impact the company's overall potential for success. Some of these problems are unique to this particular company while other issues that I identify, such as weak organizational identification among employees, loose networks of social capital between co-workers, employee training and nurturing deficits, email overload impacts on employee productivity and regard for organizational leaders, and the encroachment of work on personal time, are problems likely to be encountered by members of other virtual work organizations. As such, my findings should be of interest to applied researchers who study these fast-growing types of work arrangements.

Over the last decade, as computer-mediated communication (CMC) has become ubiquitous., place-based virtual groups have become increasingly common in the U.S. People are using various CMC tools, such as email lists, message boards, and social network sites, to form these virtual groups in order to connect with their neighbors and learn about their neighborhoods. While our society's relationship with the idea of neighborhood has become more complicated as our conception of community has become more liberated and less rooted in place, many Americans still want - and benefit from - relationships they form with people they live near. This thesis uses social capital as a lens to investigate whether place-based virtual groups may be supporting community and neighbor social networks in neighborhoods. It focuses on four dimensions of social capital in particular: sense of community. neighboring, citizen participation / civic engagement, and collective efficacy. The author looked at four place-based virtual groups-three neighborhood email discussion lists and one neighborhood Facebook Group-in the San Francisco Bay Area. She interviewed members of the virtual groups and reviewed content from the groups' archives, looking for evidence that the groups were supporting the development of social capital for the individuals who participated in them. This thesis analyzes the experiences of individuals in the groups, assesses each group with respect to how it seems to be supporting the development of social capital, and presents lessons for planners interested in increasing social capital or building community in neighborhoods. The author found evidence that each of the four place-based virtual groups did seem to support the development of sense of community, neighboring, and civic engagement, and that they had the potential to support the development of collective efficacy. However, she also found a lot of variation among the different groups., and the results raise interesting questions about what circumstances might be required to bring about place-based virtual groups that strongly encourage all dimensions of social capital.

Full textAbstract:
QQ China features interactive and connective online channels that generate social relational resources, encourage individual engagement, and facilitate embedded economic potential. The objectives of this research are to describe QQ users’ demographics and virtual behavior characteristics, to identify the underlying dimensions of relational social capital and virtual engagement, and to investigate the impacts of social capital and virtual engagement on purchase intention. Results from an analysis of data (n = 216) from China reveal the significant impacts of relational social capital and virtual engagement on purchase intention. First, functional purchase motivations, channel usage, and purchasing behaviors are captured to portray characteristics among QQ’s users. Second, trust, identification, and norm of reciprocity are primary antecedents to predict purchase intention in QQ. Third, three dimensions of relational social capital facilitate QQ users’ virtual engagements. Finally, information seeking and knowledge creation leads to product purchase intention.

O objetivo deste trabalho é propor um instrumento de medição de desempenho em Comunidades Virtuais de Aprendizagem (CVA). Para isso foram utilizadas as variáveis da teoria do capital social. Todo o trabalho está direcionado à construção de uma matriz composta pelas variáveis: (a) capital social estrutural, sob o enfoque econômico, aqui relacionado aos fatores de infra-estrutura tecnológica e utilização de ambientes virtuais, bem como às políticas de incentivo ao uso de recursos de Tecnologia da Informação; (b) capital social cognitivo, gerado por meio da criação da cultura virtual e (c) coesão social sob o enfoque ações coletivas, analisadas a partir da interação e colaboração entre seus participantes no tocante à promoção de tais ações. A pesquisa parte do pressuposto de que a geração de conhecimento em ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem está relacionada à alfabetização digital e à conseqüente utilização dos ambientes virtuais pelos participantes da comunidade em estudo. A metodologia está fundamentada na análise etnográfica do ambiente estudado, nas técnicas de coleta por meio de questionário, bem como na análise da construção de um discurso do sujeito coletivo. Uma visão estruturada dessas questões relativas ao desempenho de uma CVA está representada na Matriz do Capital Social resultante. Esta visão converge para os requisitos almejados nas análises de desempenho, ou seja para o estabelecimento de metas de gestão e a avaliação de seus resultados.This paper has the objective of proposing a measuring tool for performances in Virtual Learning Communities (VLC). For this purpose, variables of the theory of social capital have been used. The whole work heads for the building of a matrix with the following variables: a) structural social capital under economic focus, here related to factors such as technological infra-structure and the use of virtual environments, as well as policies to encourage the use of resources of Information Technology (IT); b) cognitive social capital, generated through the creation of virtual culture, and c) social cohesion under the focus of social actions, analyzed from the point of view of the interaction and cooperation of their participants in respect to the promotion of such actions. The research starts from the presupposition that knowledge generation in virtual learning environments is related to digital literacy, and the use of virtual environments by the participants of the studied community is a consequence. The methodology is based on the ethnographic analysis of the environment under study, on the techniques of collecting data through questionnaires, as well as on the analysis of the construction of a discourse of a collective subject. A structured view of these questions related to the performance of a VLC is represented in the resulting Social Capital Matrix. This view converges to the requisites desired in the different performance analyses or, in other words, to the establishment of management goals and the assessment of their results.

This study aims to present the characteristics and functions of Bourdieu’s forms of capital;economic, cultural, social and symbolic capital in large online social games genre called Massive multiplayer online roleplaying games (MMORPG). This is done in order to determine if these are reproduced in an online society consisting of thousands of players, which of the forms of capital are of outmost importance and how the accumulation of these affect the players lives using qualitative methods. Results show that the forms of capital in-game carry similar characteristics to the accumulation of such in the real world but are not transferable to the real world to the same extent. Which of the forms of capital was most of importance than others was not evident from the results, however, the empirical material shows of an interrelationship between the accumulation of capital between the dimensions; real world and game world.

Full textAbstract:
Governments around the world have pursued ICT based initiatives including the provision of infrastructure to assist regional areas to develop economically (Beckinsale et al. 2006). There has been considerable interest in exploiting ICT to develop high technology clusters and support innovative networks (Lawson & Lorenz 1999). However, these initiatives have met with mixed success. It is clear that such development depends on more than providing appropriate technology Attention to social and organisational factors is crucial if regional areas are to realise the potential of ICT as a tool for regional development (Gengatharen & Standing 2005). It is important to understand the nature of business networking as well as the perspective of those participating in such networks if successful initiatives are to be established. The aim of this research is to identify how ICT can be used for knowledge sharing among businesses in regional areas and how the online networks through which knowledge is shared can contribute to the development of the region.
This research investigates the question of what value small businesses in those regions derive from knowledge sharing networks using ICT. It also seeks to identify the value creation potential of those networks for their region. Previous research has shown that large organisations have achieved significant value from virtual communities of practice (VCoPs) as a structure for sharing knowledge and supporting innovation (Wenger 2004). The concept of Communities of Practice and Virtual Communities of Practice provided a useful point of departure for this research.
The investigation comprised interpretive case studies of two Australian regional areas and their local business networks which incorporated SMEs in a variety of industries. Each case study was conducted in three stages. First, semi-structured interviews were conducted with regional economic development leaders. Second, 192 small and medium business owners were surveyed about their business activities and their participation in local business networks. Third, in-depth interviews were conducted with 23 small business owners to gain a richer understanding of their participation in knowledge-sharing networks and the value they realised or anticipated from various knowledge-sharing activities. A combined analysis of the two cases was conducted as well as the individual analyses. The research adopted a modified Structured Case method (Carroll & Swatman 2000).
The analysis of the two case studies revealed:
a.) There was a significant difference between the majority of SMEs who traded within the region and those trading largely beyond the region. The latters more proactive online sharing knowledge and seeking of business opportunities would enable them to access most value from VCoEs.
b.) The participating SMEs operated in a number of industries and what they had in common was an interest in improving their enterprises. Consequently they used their regional networks which were not aligned to any one industry to make connections and share knowledge. They did not necessarily seek to access specific information.
c.) A necessary prerequisite of VCoEs is having vibrant CoEs where face-to-face interaction enhances the development of trust and social capital. This appeared as an important factor facilitating the move to incorporate online knowledge sharing.
d.) Younger businesses appeared to gain the most value from knowledge sharing in CoEs as they were using their networks to determine how to grow their firm.
e.) The value of VCoEs to the SME participants is primarily in their general connection to other businesses in the region. Since the participants operate in a number of industries, what they have in common is an interest in their enterprises. The main value appears to come from the potential of the VCoEs to add to this connection and to social capital.
This study found that successful management of VCoEs must:
i) Ensure the network website is actively used by members before attempting to incorporate online knowledge sharing.
ii) Monitor and stimulate online forum interaction rather than rely on interaction to occur naturally.
iii) Not rely on email as a mechanism for stimulating knowledge sharing. Email is seen as more appropriate for formal documentation than for candid exchange of views.
The concept of virtual communities of practice was found to be somewhat inappropriate for the diverse SMEs in the regional networks. Because of their diversity, they do not necessarily see value in sharing knowledge about practice but they do see value in sharing more general information and in providing support, connection and ideas that facilitate the strategic direction of their business. To address this issue, the concept of virtual communities of enterprise (VCoEs) is proposed as recognition of what the participating SMEs had in common: an interest in their individual businesses as part of the region.
The original contribution of this research consists of its identification of the issues in linking SMEs across industries. It provides new insights on the business practices of regional SMEs and developed the concepts of Community of Enterprise (CoE) and Virtual Community of Enterprise (VCoE) to capture the special nature of knowledge sharing in regional multi-industry business networks. New perspectives are revealed on the ways that value could be derived from knowledge sharing by these regionally networked SMEs, as such it adds to the body of knowledge in an area where there has been little systematic investigation. This research reinforces the importance of social capital as an essential pre-requisite for accessing the value of intellectual capital in regions. Social capital emerges as vital when establishing and maintaining face-to-face knowledge sharing in regional networks and a necessary pre-condition for successfully establishing online knowledge sharing. Trust is a key factor and this research extends understanding of the role of social capital and the importance of trust in regional networks and online interaction. Its findings have significant implications for the development and management of CoEs and VCoEs as it outlines the key elements that need to be addressed when establishing and maintaining them, the appropriate applications for this context and the issues involved in management of the networking and online contexts. These findings not only increase our understanding of the management dynamics of online networks, they can also provide guidance to those seeking to establish successful VCoEs.

Full textAbstract:
A investigação do tema satisfação dos consumidores tem merecido destaque no atual contexto acadêmico e empresarial. Numerosas pesquisas nesta área revelam como a satisfação pode afetar o desenvolvimento e o crescimento das empresas ou pode ocasionar perdas de resultados. Em um outro cenário, pode-se assistir à presença da Internet no cotidiano dos consumidores em pleno processo de expansão. Seja na simples navegação na Internet, nas compras regulares de supermercado ou envio e recebimento de mensagens pessoais. Esta dissertação teve por objetivo apresentar os atributos associados às compras por Internet, responsáveis pela composição do nível de satisfação dos consumidores em uma Rede de Supermercados assim como realizar uma breve retrospectiva no campo da satisfação do consumidor e considerações sobre o comércio eletrônico de alimentos. O estudo foi conduzido utilizando-se os dados cadastrais de 954 clientes que haviam comprado pelo menos uma vez durante os três meses que antecederam a pesquisa. Utilizou-se os dados cadastrais de uma empresa supermercadista que atua em várias cidades e na qual foram estudados somente os registros de uma capital de um estado brasileiro. Com os resultados da pesquisa, foram identificados cinco dimensões caraterísticas do processo de compra em supermercados virtuais, com atributos relacionados a: (1)“Produtos”, (2)“Atendimento e Tempo de Entrega”, (3)“Comodidade”, (4)“Pagamento e Segurança” e (5)“Conteúdo Informacional e Apresentação da Home Page”. O estudo revela que o nível de satisfação dos consumidores que compram neste supermercado virtual ficou estabelecido em 70,1%. De forma geral, o nível de satisfação dos consumidores com os aspectos de “Comodidade” e “Atendimento e Tempo de Entrega” do supermercado virtual são mais altos do que os obtidos pelas outras dimensões.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores how social networking platforms influence the production of identity, status and capital amongst adolescents. This includes an exploration of how some digital communication platforms have negatively impacted on the social experiences of some teenagers and resulted in these users adapting their digital communicative practices to overcome communicative challenges. The study draws upon data collected via 9 semi-structured interviews, 9 focus groups and 84 surveys with boys and girls aged 11-16 from three schools in England. It explores specific social norms which relate to gender, and how they are negotiated within both masculine and feminine interactions through the respective practices of banter and gossip or stalking. These interactional processes are used as a means of negotiating status and of in-group inclusion and out-group rejection (Goffman, 1963). Furthermore they are important elements in the formation of relationships, identity and social capital. For Bourdieu social capital is the aggregate of the actual or potential resources which are linked to possession of a durable network of more or less institutionalized relationships of mutual acquaintance and recognition (1980, 2). The production of social capital is linked to an individual s capacity to manage group norms and approved values. This study demonstrates that online displays of gender are part of adolescents attempts to generate social capital through gaining positive public affirmations (for example in the form of likes). This has led to a new form of capital which has been titled virtual capital , and which is revealed to be a crucial element in adolescents self-worth and status. Although social networking sites can facilitate the creation of these capitals, they can also simultaneously hinder their creation. Facebook s system of widespread automatic information sharing, alongside a lack user of control in managing the flow of data which is received and shared, has led to many teens experiencing challenges in how they produce identity and gain popularity. This has led to negative social experiences, a growing disillusionment with Facebook, and increased use of more contemporary platforms such as Snap Chat which offer a solution to these problems. Therefore this thesis presents findings on how adolescents use social networking to negotiate gender and identity, produce social status and how these attempts can be confounded by the very technology that facilitates their production.

Full textAbstract:
Dans le contexte économique mondial, l’économie virtuelle et le capital immatériel sont le champ privilégié de la création de valeur, de la différenciation et des gains de productivité. A l'échelle macro-économique c'est le principal moteur d’une croissance aux facteurs nouveaux. Le rôle croissant du capital immatériel pose aussi le problème de sa mesure par de nouveaux indicateurs pertinents, sa valorisation (monétaire et qualitative), son appréciation par les parties prenantes et de son influence sur la compétitivité. D’où notre proposition d’une normalisation ISO et d’un tableau de bord stratégique (prospectif) dans cette thèse. La situation actuelle de pilotage et de sa valorisation n’est plus satisfaisante. D’abord parce que les états financiers ne donnent qu’une valorisation partielle du capital immatériel. Ensuite parce qu’il n’existe ni de définition claire du concept ni de méthode reconnue et partagée pour assurer son pilotage. Enfin, en matière de valorisation et de reconnaissance, si les marchés financiers intègrent d'ores et déjà le capital immatériel dans la valorisation des entreprises, ils ne sont plus efficients car d’autres éléments comme la spéculation mondiale ont une incidence sur les cours des actions. Donc, la valeur de marché ne fournit pas de détail sur les composantes du capital immatériel (humain, marque, recherche et développement, brevets etc.), indispensable au pilotage dans ces économies de plus en plus virtuellesIn the global economy, the virtual economy and intellectual capital are the privileged field of value creation, differentiation and productivity gains. At the macro level is the main engine of growth to new factors. The growing role of intangible capital also the problem of its measurement by new relevant indicators, its valuation (monetary and quality), its appreciation by stakeholders and its influence on competitiveness. Hence our proposal of an ISO standardization and an array of strategic edge (forward) in this thesis. The current situation steering and its valuation is no longer satisfactory. First, because the financial statements give only a partial valuation of intangible capital. Then because there is no clear definition of the concept or method recognized and shared to ensure its control. Finally, in terms of valuation and recognition, if financial markets already integrate and intangible capital already in the valuation of companies, they are more efficient because other factors such as global speculation affect the prices of actions. So, the market value does not provide details on the components of intellectual capital (human, brand, research and development, patents etc.), essential for driving in these economies increasingly virtual

The thesis is focused on utilization of social networking sites as a tool for virtual team collaboration support. The first goal is to identify critical success factors of virtual teamwork, which are currently not supported by groupware tools, based on description of virtual team characteristics and processes. Identified critical success factors represent the basis for the completion of next goal, which is to describe aspects of social networking sites, which are able to support the identified critical success factors. That leads to the main goal of the thesis, which consists of two main parts. First part is the analysis of social networking sites aspects influence on virtual teamwork critical success factors. The second part is the practical solution of utilization of social networking sites for virtual teamwork support. Final solution includes all social networking sites implementation phases starting from choosing the product, implementation process and ending with setting of team processes and utilization principles. Social networking sites aspects description is based on current enterprise information systems trends and the final solution results from the analysis and synthesis of findings from both previous thesis parts. The main contribution of the thesis is the solution of social networking sites utilization inside the organization and providing of practical instructions for implementation of social networking sites in order to support virtual teamwork.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose - Healthcare (HC) is a globally expensive investment, suffering from service quality, due to medical errors caused by physicians’ poor decisions making (DM). Current published literature: (1) encourages clinical DM research to reduce diagnostic errors and (2) stresses on the dearth of means for practitioners’ knowledge shared DM; this research focuses on knowledge sharing for improving medical DM quality through physicians’ social capital (SC) in a virtual community of practice (VCoP). Physicians join a virtual community (VC) to share clinical practice knowledge to aid medical DM. This study aims to assess the effect of physicians’ SC on medical DM and assess the mediating role of knowledge sharing quality, between physicians’ SC and medical DM quality since research lacks to investigate the impact of knowledge management (KM) tools in a HC context. VCoP is a KM tool and medical DM quality is a HC topic of this study. Design/methodology/approach – This positivist, quantitative research utilizes non-experimental survey to empirically assess its conceptual framework. After attaining an ethical approval, from Brunel Business School Research Ethics Committee, online survey was pre-tested and pilot tested for clarity and validity. 10 non-physician Ph.D. academics voluntarily participated during the survey’s pre-test phase. The survey was amendment for its pilot study phase; conducted in “plastic surgery yahoo group” VC. 31 physician VC members voluntarily participated. Again, the survey was amended and distributed for main data collection from 204 voluntary SurveyMonkey’s VC’s physician members. Findings – Data was analysed using SPSS 20 and LISREL 8.80 by means of confirmatory factor analysis and Structural Equation Modeling. Empirical findings supported this study’s four main hypotheses as well as supported this study’s initially proposed conceptual framework. Originality/value – This study customized the Honeycomb framework to establish a definition of professional physicians; HC VCs followed by identifying 51 VCs from social networking platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, etc. This study also fulfilled its aim and hence proposed a structurally fit conceptual framework.

It has been used for many years to enable flexibility in terms of work, and thus allow workers to do their job while, for example, traveling or caring for their sick child. COVID-19 virus impacted the world in many different ways. Organizations faced forced lockdown as a recommendation, and the employees had to shift their daily routine to working primarily from home. The shift to remote work meant a decrease in physical, social interactions and less networking amongst employees. Organizational culture is a concept used to describe the fundamental values, artifacts, and internal language of an organization and one key pillar in organizational culture is the people and the social interactions within a workplace. The shift to remote work has thus created multiple gaps in research, where there is a need to understand the impact on organizations and their organizational culture. Purpose – This thesis aims to understand the impact on organizational culture as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and shift to remote work. Method – Empirical data was collected from a single-case interview study with employees from Jönköping International Business School. The interviewees have experienced the shift from office to remote work from home the past year, and hence contributed with valuable insights that were then used to understand the impact on the organizations’ culture. The data was analyzed using the Gioia method and hence allowed for categorization of the data. Findings – The findings of this thesis showed that the employees experienced a digital and virtual fatigue from working virtually and remotely at home. The fatigue is based on not being able to catch smaller breaks which are engraved in the foundational culture at Jönköping International Business School, in combination with an unclear communication strategy. Furthermore, with the removal of physical presence and interactions in the employee’s daily activities, the internal relationships within Jönköping International Business School has started to fade away, and the attitude on nurturing them has also been impacted. Many attempts by the organization have been made to keep together the employees and the culture, although what is evident in the findings is that by duplicating all activities from the physical office activities to the virtual world, the experience does not give the same response virtually. In fact, it can be even more damaging to the attitude of the organization and the internal network.

The dissertation is devoted to a complex of issues associated with the problems of the industrial enterprise virtual capital formation and further development in the modern world. For this purpose the contents of a category "the virtual capital of the company" and related categories and concepts, and their role in the efficient operation of the enterprise are specified. It is refined the need to prevent undervaluation and revaluation of intangible achievements in system of their accounting. The basic features of information are identified as the most invaluable part of the virtual capital, a method of information valuation at the enterprise is proposed basing on its activity entropy reduction. The main components of the corporate brand are marked, the activities on rebranding (renaming) of industrial enterprises and activities to promote its brand are determined. A classification of brand assessing methods is produced, and a method of brand estimating on the basis of ranking is proposed, depending on the factors that determine the value of the brand. There are defined the anergetic and synergistic effects influencing the cost of the virtual capital combination. The factors are defined, and a method of assessing the companies attractiveness to mergers and acquisitions due to the synergistic effect of their virtual capital is developed. The methodical recommendations are worked out for the enterprise virtual capital optimum amount determination on the basis of multicriteria optimization the profitability of virtual capital, its value and propensity to synergistic effects , and the company's liquidity.

This thesis deals with the comparison of users' behaviour in virtuality and in reality. The thesis is divided into two interrelated parts. I'm analyzing participants' behavior according to results from our own research in chosen social network. I'm comparing the results with other scientific works and putting them into context with theoretical knowledge. I'm looking for conjunctions with reality, focus on the differences and trying to explain different behaviour of users of social networks. The theoretical part gives a comprehensive overview of the concepts of virtuality, social network and virtual world. It provides an overview of the potential danger lurking in the virtual reality, focusing on children, because for them is virtuality already a natural part of life, and they are also because of their credibility very vulnerable. It also deals with the meaning of the concept of friendship, which has in the virtual world a bit different meaning. It also examines the behaviour of individuals in various situations in a virtual environment and looks for reasons why people change their image, why they behave aggressively, and whether their virtual behaviour influence their behaviour in reality. I'm analyzing the differences between virtual and real communications and the influence of the increasing tendency of using virtual means of communication for real communication.

Full textAbstract:
With the advent of knowledge-intensive economies, plus the ever-accelerating development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), organisational knowledge has become the key driver of an organisation's value and ultimately, an important source of an organisation's sustainable competitive edge. Thus, numerous organisations have started to invest heavily in establishing knowledge management systems (KMSs). Subsequently, they wish to access knowledge from individuals in order to enhance their acquisition of knowledge and ultimately transform this into organisational knowledge. Even though existing research studies have evidenced extensively the intrinsic and extrinsic motivators of individuals' knowledge-sharing behaviour in organisations from diverse perspectives (e.g. organisational behaviour, sociology and psychology), individuals still seem inclined to hoard their knowledge, rather than share it with others in organisations. To this end, this research aims to investigate and identify essential elements related to individuals' knowledge-sharing behaviour within the complex context of the virtual organisation of Taiwanese Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs), comprising the whole system of Taiwanese Farmers' Associations, by integrating multilevel perspectives of individuals in organisations (the micro-level), workplace networks in organisations (the meso-level) and organisational culture (the macro-level).

This thesis constitutes a study of ethnographic nature in a virtual environment, combined with concepts of Bakhtinian thought, such as the effective enunciation, dialogism, interaction and authorial architectonics form. The work is also based on studies that relate to the construction of online sociabilities and collective writing practices associated with studies of online fandoms formation and community creation of fan fictions. The case study focuses on the analysis of the online trajectory of the Snapetes group, which is formed by Brazilian authors of fan fiction centered on the potterian character of Severus Snape. In broad terms, the study showed that the performing interactions of the authors tend to self-insertion in the fictional universe as well as creative appropriations of this universe and its characters. In a more specific way, the study also showed the role of the collective as a motivator for writing, which highlighted the importance of social capital and affective social ties concepts involved in such practices. Finally, a discursive (or enunciative) intersubjectivity emerges in the form of a group style or community authorial architectonics
Esta tese constitui um estudo, de cunho etnográfico em meio virtual, combinado a conceitos do pensamento bakhtiniano, como os de enunciado concreto, dialogismo, interação e forma arquitetônica autoral. O trabalho ainda se fundamenta em estudos relativos à construção de sociabilidades online e práticas de escrita coletiva, associadas aos estudos acerca da formação de fandoms online e criação comunitária de fan fictions. O estudo de caso focaliza o levantamento da trajetória online do grupo Snapetes, formado por autoras brasileiras de fan fictions centradas na personagem potteriana Severus Snape. De forma ampla, o estudo evidenciou que as interações performáticas das autoras tendem à autoinserção (self-insertion) no universo ficcional e a apropriações criativas desse universo e de suas personagens. De forma mais específica, o estudo mostrou ainda o papel do coletivo como elemento motivador para a escrita, o que evidenciou a importância das noções de capital social e laços sociais afetivos envolvidos nessas práticas. Por fim, das interações comunitárias emerge uma intersubjetividade discursiva (ou enunciativa) na forma de um estilo de grupo ou arquitetônica autoral comunitária.

Full textAbstract:
Magíster en Gestión y Dirección de EmpresasLa presente tesis propone un modelo funcional para la creación y gestión de un equipo virtual global de alto desempeño (EVGAD), uno de los factores principales para el éxito de organizaciones multinacionales en una economía globalizada. En dicho modelo, se identifican las variables exógenas que proporcionan las condiciones de estabilidad del equipo; y las variables endógenas que son fundamentales para alcanzar el desempeño óptimo requerido bajo un régimen estable del equipo durante todo su ciclo de vida. Estas variables, además, dan a conocer la dinámica interna desde la óptica de la gestión del equipo y de la aplicación de la teoría motivacional basada en el Self Determination Theory y en el modelo OSAR con el fin de alcanzar robustez en completa conspiración con el desempeño. Además, se analizan las fronteras culturales que un equipo virtual debe atravesar, se construye una definición como sustento teórico para este estudio y las distinciones de un equipo virtual global de alto desempeño en relación a un equipo virtual tradicional. Se analiza y sugiere una serie de consideraciones como mejores prácticas para la creación de un EVGAD y las competencias necesarias que debe tener su líder. Este estudio destaca la importancia de incluir en la estrategia de crecimiento y expansión de organizaciones globales la utilización de EVGAD en sus actividades primarias con el objeto de buscar una constante flexibilidad frente a la dinámica de mercado y al mismo tiempo seguir siendo competitivas. Evidentemente, mientras más aumenta la necesidad de crear ventajas competitivas en las organizaciones globales, mayor será el protagonismo de los equipos virtuales de alto desempeño. El desafío principal de los EVGAD no es qué tecnologías usar sino cómo lograr que sus miembros trabajen unidos en armonía, compartan una visión y logren sus metas con éxito. Como se menciona en este estudio, la capacidad del líder para gestionar y dirigir un EVGAD es una competencia gerencial crucial para el presente y futuro en el creciente mercado global.

The purpose of this work is a theological-literary approach of the novel Incidente em Antares, written in 1971, by Erico Verissimo (1905 -1975). It is an analysis of the mentioned book, whose aim is to observe the characteristics and attitudes of the characters elaborated by the author and his comic and ironic language as well, used for him in order to deal with matters related to the daily life, and suggests the coexistence of the good and evil which are revealed in human actions. In this way, will be highlighted the situations which were narrated in the book and can be related to some behaviors which refer to the flaws. Therefore, they can be associated to the seven capital sins, listed by Tomas de Aquino and the virtues which oppose them. Accordingly, we will be emphasize the work’s symbolical composition, as well as will be verified the dialogical relation between theology and literature. The components, the sins and virtues, whose are implicitly interconnected, are an introductory element for a reflection about the human nature ambivalence, whereby the correspondence to the seven dead characters from the novel with the known seven capital sins, as well as the actions of the characters that can be related to the virtues, allows through the literary verb to point the human being vocation to the good and to the evil, whose the frontiers is where the hope emerges.
A proposta deste trabalho é uma abordagem teológico-literária da obra Incidente em Antares, escrita em 1971, por Erico Verissimo (1905 -1975). Trata-se de uma análise da referida obra com o intuito de observar características e atitudes dos personagens criadas pelo autor, assim como a linguagem cômica e irônica usada por ele para tratar de assuntos da vida cotidiana, que sugerem um apontamento do bem e do mal que coexistem e se revelam nas atitudes humanas. Nesse sentido, serão apontadas as situações narradas na obra que podem ser relacionadas a certos comportamentos que nos remetem às faltas e, diante disso, podem ser associados aos pecados capitais listados por Tomas de Aquino, assim como às virtudes que os contrapõem. Dessa forma, será ressaltada a composição simbólica da obra analisada, como também será conferida a relação dialógica entre teologia e literatura. Os componentes, virtudes e pecados, os quais estão interligados implicitamente na obra, serão o elemento introdutório para uma reflexão acerca da ambivalência da natureza humana, em que a correspondência dos sete defuntos personagens do romance com os conhecidos sete pecados capitais, assim como as ações dos personagens que remetem às virtudes, permitem, por meio do verbo literário, apontar a vocação do ser humano tanto para o bem quanto para o mal, em cujas fronteiras encontra-se o sentimento de esperança.

Previous issue date: 2012-12-11With the purpose of increasing their marketing campaigns, many organizations turn to social media tools hosted on the Internet. With that, these organizations look for increased productivity by adopting automated message, or even feature direct access, entering characterized persuasive messages in discussion forums in online communities. It can be seen here certain lack of sensitivity to deal with communication, a medium in which the message is not necessarily an easy propagation environment. Often implies a possibility of reverberation indicating greater attention be essential in the development and direction of these communications flows, for the purposes sharply persuasive. Accordingly, this paper proposes the study of online communities in which we, from the identification of factors that lead to the formation of these communities, analyse and interpret its structure and communications flows, such that its elements indicate aggregators. To this end, we aim to demonstrate that with these components, the analysis can be developed to better match strategies relationships, enabling actions inherent in the marketing communication process with these communities. The network structure was analyzed with software applications such as integration with UCINET NetDraw, and communication flows formed the corpora analyzed with Wordsmith Tools suite. A network formed in the community hosted in orkut provided the corpora for lexical analysis. The obtained results could characterize not only the very existence of the social network, such as the potential relationship, from interpretations of dialogic flows of its elements aggregators, through visuals (graphs), statistical and lexical means.
Com o propósito de incrementar suas campanhas mercadológicas, muitas organizações, recorrem às ferramentas de mídias sociais hospedadas na Internet. Com isso, procuram o aumento de produtividade com adoção de sistemas automatizados de reprodução de mensagens, ou mesmo de recursos de acesso direto, inserindo mensagens de caráter persuasivo nos fóruns de discussões em comunidades online. Uma certa falta de sensibilidade para com o trato comunicacional, num meio potencialmente promissor, mas que pede uma outra interpretação, para posterior ação. Frequentemente implica em uma possibilidade de reverberação indicando ser imprescindível maior atenção na elaboração e no direcionamento desses fluxos comunicacionais, acentuadamente os de propósitos persuasivos. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho propõe o estudo de comunidades online nas quais possamos a partir da identificação dos fatores que levem à sua formação, analisar e interpretar sua estrutura e seus fluxos comunicacionais, tais que, indiquem seus elementos agregadores. Para tal, com os preceitos metodológicos observados, objetivou-se demonstrar que, com esses componentes, as análises podem ser desenvolvidas para melhor adequação de estratégias de relacionamentos, possibilitando ações inerentes ao processo comunicacional mercadológico com essas comunidades. A metodologia ora empregada envolveu análise estrutural da rede com aplicações de softwares como UCINET, integrado com NetDraw, e dos fluxos comunicacionais, que formaram o corpora, analisado com a suíte Wordsmith Tools. Uma rede formada em comunidade hospedada na ferramenta orkut, por meio da obtenção dos conteúdos de fóruns temáticos, forneceu o corpora para as análises lexicais. Os resultados obtidos puderam caracterizar, não só a própria existência da rede social, como as potencialidades de relacionamento, a partir de interpretações de fluxos dialógicos de seus elementos agregadores, por meio de recursos visuais (grafos), estatísticos e lexicais.

Desde à muito, os temas, capital social e comportamento de cidadania organizacional (CCO) têm sido extensivamente pesquisado e estudados nos EUA, no entanto estes têm recebido pouca relevância a nível de outros contextos internacionais. Se por um lado, a sua importância e inferência na performance dentro do contexto empresarial têm sido crescente, caracterizando a necessidade de um entendimento cada vez maior por parte das empresas, por outro, o investimento das corporações de grande porte, caminham cada vez mais em direção dos países com crescimento exponencial sustentado, como são o BRIC, o que cna uma necessidade fomentada de pesquisa nesta área de pesquisa para estas regiões. Este estudo pretendeu investigar, avaliar e mapear a influência do capital e do CCO na satisfação de vida e desempenho no trabalho do funcionário de nível superior, no contexto empresarial brasileiro e português, com o objetivo de identificar quais as diferenças existentes nestes duas realidade, devido ao investimento crescente do segundo para com o primeiro. Genericamente, encontramos clara influência das dimensões do CCO tanto para o desempenho no trabalho como para a satisfação de vida do trabalhador, assim como presença também marcada das duas dimensões do capital Social. Mais especificamente, foi entendido pelo nosso estudo que a realidade empresarial brasileira necessita que as empresas criem mecanismos que fomentem os laços entre colegas, a conscienciosidade, altruísmo e virtude cívica dos seus funcionários, pois assim aumentará o desempenho. Já para o contexto português, apenas a conscienciosidade e a virtude apresentaram significativa relação. Desta forma, conclui-se que para o investimento das empresas português no Brasil, estas precisam ter atenção à dimensão estrutural - relação com colegas - promovendo-a e à necessidade patente que os brasileiros têm de ajudar os seus colegas - comportamento altruísta - para aumentar o desempenho no trabalho. No que se refere a satisfação de vida, que se mostrou estreitamente relacionada com o desempenho, o brasileiro apenas precisa notar confiança nos colegas, senti-se altruísta e consciencioso, ao passo que o português necessita criar fortes laços com os colegas, mas não fomentar o comportamento altruístico. Desta forma as empresas investidoras apenas precisam ter atenção mais uma vez a necessidade de prestar ajuda especifica que o brasileiro sente, promovendo workshops com os próprios funcionários, por forma a estes passarem o seu conhecimento, monitorias, estágios, entre outros. Estes resultados demonstraram que cada continente, país (possuidor ou não da mesma língua) e/ou cultura comporta diferenças significativas no contexto empresarial, assim tornase difícil implementar técnicas e comportamentos internacionais e esperar que os resultados sejam exatamente iguais. Este estudo espera dar alguns instrumentos de comparação para que as empresas portuguesas entendam, a este nível, a realidade brasileira.
Since long ago, the themes of social capital and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) have been extensively researched and studied in the V.S., though these have received little attention in terms of other international contexts. On the one hand, its importance and inference performance within the business environment have been increasing, characterizing the need for an increased understanding by firms, on the other hand, investment by large corporations, walk increasingly direction of countries with sustained exponential growth, as BRIC countries, which creates a need for research in this area encouraged the search for these regions. This study intended to investigate, assess and map the influence of capital and of the CCO in life satisfaction and job performance of top-Ievel employee in Brazilian and Portuguese business environment, in order to identify differences between those two realities, because increasing investment from the second to the first. Generally, we find clear influence ofboth dimensions ofthe CCO to perform at work and for the life satisfaction of workers, and also marked presence of the two dimensions of social capital. More specifically, it was understood by our study that the Brazilian business reality requires companies to create mechanisms that foster ties between colleagues, conscientiousness, altruism and civic virtue of its officials, as well as increase performance. As for the Portuguese context, the only virtue and conscientiousness showed a significant relationship. Thus, we conclude that for investment firms Portuguese in Brazil, they need to pay attention to the structural dimension - relationship with colleagues - promoting it and need to clear the Brazilians have to help their colleagues - altruistic behavior - to increase job performance. Regarding life satisfaction, which was closely related to performance, Brazilians need only belive in colleagues trust, I was unselfish and conscientious, whereas the Portuguese need to create strong bonds with colleagues, but not to encourage altruistic behavior. Thus investment firms only need to pay attention once again the need to assist states that the Brazilian feel, providing workshops with the employees themselves, so they pass their knowledge, tutoring, internships, among others. These results demonstrated that each continent, country (with or not possessing the same language) and / or culture involves differences in a business context, so it is difficult to implement technical and intemational behavior and expect that the results are exactly alike. This study hopes to give some means of comparison to understand that Portuguese firms at this leveI, the Brazilian reality.

Full textAbstract:
Evagre le Pontique a exposé sa philosophie ascétique, centrée sur la notion d'une liste de vices à combattre et de vertus correspondantes, dans plusieurs traités, dont certains ont déjà fait l'objet d'éditions critiques. Le présent travail consiste en une introduction, une édition, et une traduction de deux textes occupant une place particulière dans l'œuvre d'Evagre. Le traité adressé au moine Euloge, et celui qui décrit les Vices opposés aux Vertus, qui apparaît comme un appendice au précédent dans une bonne partie de la tradition manuscrite, présente des spécificités en termes de style et de doctrine qui ont pu faire douter de son authenticité. Une étude approfondie des témoins manuscrits, à la fois de l'original grec et des différentes versions en langues orientales, syriaque, arabe, arménien, géorgien et éthiopien, qui en sont conservées, a permis de confirmer l'authenticité du traité et d'en établir un texte sûr. Ils ont en effet subi de nombreux aléas au cours de leur transmission; outre les dégâts matériels, les œuvres d'Evagre ont surtout circulé en grec sous le nom de Nil d'Ancyre, en raison de la condamnation qui a frappé Evagre, pour son Origénisme supposé, au concile de Constantinople II en 553. Le commentaire accompagnant l'édition permet d'évaluer la proximité de la pensée d'Evagre avec celle du docteur Alexandrin, ainsi que de mettre en lumière la genèse, l'expression et la postérité de la doctrine évagrienne par excellence, celle de la liste des vices, dans le contexte philosophique et ascétique où elle a pris naissanceEvagrius Ponticus expounded his ascetic philosophy, centered on the notion of a list of vices and corresponding virtues, in several treatises, several of which have already been critically edited. The present work consists of an introduction, an edition, and a French translation of two texts which stand out, to a certain degree, within the Evagrian opus. The treatise addressed to the monk Eulogius, along with its appendix describing the Vices opposed to Virtues, which appears adjoined to the former in a majority of manuscripts, display stylistic and doctrinal characteristics which have often called its authenticity into question. A detailed study of the manuscript testimony, both of the Greek original and of the various oriental versions (Syriac, Arabic, Armenian, Georgian and Ethiopic), has allowed us to confirm the treatises' authenticity and to establish their text reliably, as it can be seen to have suffered considerable turmoil during its transmission. Aside from material damage, Evagrius' works, in the Greek medium, were mainly distributed under the name of Nilus of Ancyra, owing to Evagrius' condemnation for alleged Origenism, at the council of Constantinople II in 553. The accompanying commentary aims at addressing the proximity of Evagrian thought with the legacy of Origen, as well as highlighting the formation, formulation, and posterity of that most remarkable of Evagrian doctrines, the list of vices, and the philosophical and ascetic context wherein it originated

Previous issue date: 2009-05-29T00:00:00ZA globalização e o desenvolvimento da tecnologia da informação ajudaram a intensificar a rivalidade entre empresas, tanto na busca de mercado para seus produtos quanto de recursos para sua produção. Paralelamente, houve uma mudança nas atividades econômicas: da produção de bens para a prestação de serviços. Como conseqüência, o PIB das principais economias passou a ser dominado por serviços e o capital intangível das empresas superou o capital tangível, tanto em valor quanto em importância estratégica. O sucesso empresarial passou, então, a depender menos da alocação estratégica de recursos físicos e financeiros e mais da gestão estratégica do Capital Intelectual. O problema é que enquanto os gestores dependem cada vez mais de indicadores não financeiros, para alocar os recursos de maneira consistente com sua estratégia, a contabilidade financeira não fornece informações suficientes e nem adequadas para a gestão eficiente do Capital Intelectual. Em empresas de prestação de serviços este problema é ainda mais relevante. O objetivo desta Dissertação é explorar o Capital Intelectual em empresas de serviço de auto-atendimento bancário, identificando seus principais direcionadores intangíveis de valor e avaliando-os sob dois aspectos: a sua importância relativa na geração de valor, ou seja, seus pesos; e o seu potencial individual como fonte de vantagem competitiva sustentável. A análise destas informações permite identificar direcionadores que estejam sub ou sobreutilizados, o que pode indicar oportunidades de melhoria no uso do Capital Intelectual da organização. Para atingir esses objetivos será realizado um estudo de caso em uma empresa de auto-atendimento bancário. Espera-se que o resultado possa contribuir para melhorar a gestão em empresas deste segmento.

L'objectif de cette thèse est d'évaluer l'effet des réductions de la dette extérieure consenties dans le cadre de l'initiative PPTE sur la croissance. Après un rappel, dans le premier chapitre, des spécificités de la dette des PPTE, nous présentons, dans le deuxième chapitre, les caractéristiques de l'Initiative PPTE. Elle vise à rétablir la soutenabilité de la dette et à encourager la lutte contre la pauvreté. L'objectif de croissance n'y est pas explicite. Le troisième chapitre établit un lien entre la soutenabilité et la croissance à travers le modèle de fardeau virtuel. Celui-ci met en exergue l'impact néfaste du surendettement sur l'investissement. Toutefois, deux limites apparaissent. La première tient aux hypothèses du modèle. La seconde est liée à la méthode d'estimation empirique. Le quatrième chapitre aborde une des limites. Nous montrons l'importance des préférences intertemporelles dans la relation dette-investissement, lorsque l'accès aux capitaux est limité. La dette ne nuit à l'investissement qu'en cas de faible préférence pour le lissage. Forte dans les PPTE, elle remet en question l'approche du fardeau virtuel. Pour s'en assurer, nous proposons, dans les deux chapitres suivants, deux études centrées sur les PPTE. Elles confirment l'absence de fardeau virtuel puisque le stock de dette n'influe ni sur l'investissement, ni sur la croissance. Le service de la dette exerce un effet positif ce qui corrobore les conclusions du quatrième chapitre. Une évaluation des premiers résultats des réductions est présentée dans le septième chapitre. Une croissance légèrement plus élevée est observée mais ne découle pas de l'investissement mais d'une meilleure gouvernance.

This study investigates the interactions and value creation in virtual communities from the social capital perspective. Social capital means the actual and potential resources embedded within,available through, and derived from the network of relationships processed by an individual and social unit.This study clarified the interrelationships among structural, cognitive and relational dimensions of social capital in virtual community. In addition, the moderating effect of individual’s motivation for social identity is examined as well. Based on literature review, eight hypotheses are developed to address the inter-relationships among dimensions of social capital. An online questionnaire was designed to collect data. All hypotheses are tested with structure equation model. Generally, the results show that, in virtual communities, structural capital and cognitive capital both positively relate to relational capital. Besides, structural capital positively relates to cognitive capital and cognitive capital also positively relates to structural capital. H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6 and H7 are supported. This study further investigates the influence of actual investment experience. The results show that investment experience influenced the path from tie strength to trust due to perceived risk, which negatively relates to trust. In addition, the moderating effect of social identity on the path from trust to collective action is significant, but there is no difference on the path from trust to knowledge sharing. H8 is partially supported. This research contributes to the social capital field by providing an empirically research explores the inter-relationships of social capital dimensions in virtual communities. Furthermore,this study tests the role of social identity in virtual communities. In summary, the results serve as a guide for marketers to understand factors that will influence individuals to participate in a virtual community from the social capital perspective.

This study intends to investigate factors affecting virtual community members’ behavioral intentions to sharing their knowledge via the cyberspace communities. By adopting the OSU Leadership Scale Theory into the Social Capital Theory, the present study proposes a recommended leading style within the virtual communities and the possible way to affect the members’ sharing motivation. The proposed model was tested with data collected from 310 virtual community users in Taiwan. The results show that the leadership styles would positively and significantly affect each construct of Social Capital theory. No matter which kind of leading style would both have positive effect on Social Capital Theory. In addition, as to the result of Social Capital Theory and Knowledge Sharing Behavior, the constructs of social interaction, trust, and norm of reciprocity would all have significant influences on the knowledge sharing behavior. Empirical results also provide strong support for the integrative approach. The findings suggest the leaders of virtual communities to modify their leading style, thereby strengthen the connection within the virtual communities, and finally encourage the knowledge sharing intention of members within the virtual communities.

Virtual communities of special interests are computer-mediated forums that enable individuals to exchange experience, solve practical problems, and generate new ideas with others of common interests. However, why individuals are willing to share their knowledge with others in virtual communities is not well understood. In this study, we examine how personality and social capital influence individuals’ knowledge sharing in virtual communities by empirically testing a theoretical model. The results are expected to show that people will share their knowledge in virtual communities when they have had a pleasant experience in knowledge sharing, when they have a positive personality, and when the knowledge sharing enhances their social network. These findings should help organizations to provide effective virtual communities with proper disposition of human nature, and further the knowledge creation of organizations.

This study discussed about why people are willing to share information in a virtual road-running community. Recent years, road running has become more and more popular in Taiwan. In 2013, 284 road-running races were held in Taiwan, and various forms of virtual communities boomed in this trend. Related information is shared and accumulated in these virtual communities. This study used a model based on the Theory of Reasoned Action(TRA) proposed by Ajzen and Fishbein. By using four dimensions of social capitals: network, beliefs, trust, and norms as independent variables, we discussed about whether social capitals affect sharing attitude and sharing intention. The results revealed: (1) Emotion network, trust, and motivation to comply had positive effect on sharing attitude, which was consistent with previous studies. (2) Normative belief, motivation to comply, and sharing attitude had positive effect on sharing intention, but normative belief had no effect on sharing intention. These results are consistent with Ajzen’s proposal. (3) Information had no effect on sharing attitude. The result of which social capitals affect sharing behavior may be provided to community operators as a reference of motivating information sharing.

Taiwan today is a rapidly aging society, with elderly people living longer and longer. It is important to give the elderly a platform where they can share their knowledge and life experiences. According to observers, the job and life experiences of the elderly is an important social capital for Taiwan. Finding ways to allow the elderly to use computers and social networks is vital for Taiwan’s future. Therefore, this study will begin with literature review in knowledge sharing and fit elder’s need doing requirement analysis. Integrate elder’s characteristic and knowledge sharing concept to construct a elder knowledge sharing platform. Use the social capital theory and elderly sharing motivation to understand elderly knowledge sharing behavior on Social Network Sites. A quasi experiment and a survey were conducted to evaluate the knowledge sharing motivation and the effect of elder’s meaning in life. Data was collected from Senior Learning Centers in Chiayi which were established by the Ministry of Education to validate the model. The results of this study provide a reference for policy makers in the future to promote the social participation of elderly in Taiwan.

Internet has become a convenient channel for one to search for various types of informa-tion, including product related ones. Users can share their purchasing and usage experience with one another over the network. As a result, the number of users and the value of virtual communities are escalating. According to the “Top 100 Websites in 2008” in Taiwan pub-lished by the “Digital Era” magazine, virtual community is the leading category of websites, accounting for 21 slots in the list. Due to vigorous competition, it is important for community websites to attract users to revisit, and to actively contribute knowledge, in order to initiate a positive feedback loop. Content richness of the virtual community is a key determinant that attracts users. It is the foundation for users to communicate and discuss. This study attempts to investigate the knowledge sharing intention and behavior among virtual community members, from the per-spective of the social capital theory. Data was collected from 355 members of Fashion Guide, which is one of the most visited virtual community website in Taiwan, through self adminis-tered questionnaires. The results revealed that knowledge sharing behavior is associated with knowledge sharing intention and membership seniority. In addition, knowledge sharing intention is positively associated to three Relational constructs in the social capital theory, namely, Norm of Reciprocity, Identification and Trust. Furthermore, Norm of Reciprocity and Identifica-tion are associated with Social interaction tie, which is a structural construct. Finally, Identi-fication and Trust are associated with Shared value, which is a cognitive construct. Manage-rial implications are discussed.

In recent years, the rising up of the Internet makes virtual communities grow rapidly. The success of virtual communities depends on the social interaction between members. Although most of members have different background and domains, the members have the same interests and thus build the relationships. This study found that the past studies related to virtual communities focused on discussing the antecedents of virtual community attitude or behavior; however, few studies explored its consequences. Therefore, whether strengthening the explaining of social influence factors on virtual community participation behavior needs to be further explored. Furthermore, past studies ask the participants “image” their feeling of social capital if they visit virtual community; few studies discussed their feeling when they “actually” participate in virtual community. Therefore, this study aimed to apply Social Influence Theory to discuss antecedents of the virtual community participation decision, and then investigated its consequences using the Social Capital Theory. This study used convenience sampling and 318 Facebook users took part in the survey. SPSS 21 and AMOS 21 were the main statistical analysis. Based on the research purpose, research framework, and measures, this study then tested the hypotheses. The results showed that group norm positively influences cognitive identity, affective identity, and evaluative identity; cognitive identity, affective identity, and evaluative identity positively influence subject norm. Besides, subject norm, cognitive identity, affective identity, evaluative identity, and group norm positively affect participation desire. Furthermore, participation desire positively affects participation intention; participation intention positively influences participation behavior. Participation behavior positively affect online social capital and offline social capital. This study additionally found that participation desire fully mediates the effects of subject norm, cognitive identity, affective identity, evaluative identity, and group norm on participation intention.

Given the rapid pace of internet and the growth of virtual communities in the recent decade, many consumers behavior have been affected both in the real world and online activities, especially by the eWOM or called experience sharing in the virtual communities. With the explosive growth of e-commerce, this kind of knowledge sharing or eWOM phenomenon has attracted the attention of both researchers and practitioners. However, research that focuses on the antecedents or fostering environment of eWOM identification in virtual communities remains scant. What kind of social capital and social network circumstance in virtual communities will foster the willingness of virtual community members to identify the eWOM from other members is an interest issue. Verifying the motivations and circumstances underlying eWOM behavior in virtual communities would help both academics and practitioners to gain insights of how to stimulate eWOM in virtual communities for marketing purposes. The study drawn on both the social capital theory and social networks framework to investigate the impact by the three dimensions of social capital theory and informational network’s interference effects on the identification of eWOM in virtual communities. Data were collected from 516 Taiwan region members of the most popular virtual community, Facebook, to provide support for the proposed model. The implications for theory and practice, as well as future research directions and limitations are discussed.

As we enter the era of knowledge-driven economy world, as the network grows vigorously under information science and technology’s fast changes, enterprises are it facing severe challenges and changes one after another on the internet in order to keep their competition advantages enterprises certainly will change in the managing procedure and develop constantly. Thus every enterprise will face this global and network environment with new styles and features. During the rise of e-commerce, the digit capital arises promptly: there are apparent changes on the managing tactics in enterprises, of trying to offer the new goods and operations one enterprise after another job websites can be regarded as the result of rising under the e-generation’s assuming command of the knowledge economy. But among these fierce competitions, how a website uses proper tactics to construct its type of operation to raise their advantage in order to maintain the performance is a topic into which that is worth probing. Our Research adopted the conception sample law and the content analytic approach to collect and analyze relevant materials, happen manpower several capital website possess construct surface, then go on every job website to make several comparison of capital using the Analytic Hierarchy Process, then sum up the order of importance and discuss. Finally, this research, according to scholar''s definition of the business network way of Analytic Hierarchy Process, will build and construct out the type of operation of job website and Virtual Value Chain. We hope this research can offer the relevant job website’s company or researcher''s performance to assess or direction and lead to resource allocation.

Sense of virtual community is kind of feeling of relationship between members and virtual community, which can reflect members’ emotional and behavioral dimensions. Knowledge sharing behavior is one forms of social capital. Members in the virtual community expect to cost less for maximum benefit. However, virtual community differs from enterprise or other enforceable organizations. Members in virtual community are continue interaction to develop networks, so this study is based on the integrated perspective of social capital and social exchange to discuss the impact of sense of virtual community on knowledge sharing behavior in virtual communities. We used Taiwan beauty related fields of virtual communities as research subjects, and collected 833 valid questionnaires. We found that structural social capital, cognitive social capital and relational social capital positively impact knowledge sharing behavior. Codification effort negatively impact knowledge sharing behavior. Reward, knowledge self-efficacy and enjoyment in helping others positively impact knowledge sharing behavior. Then, sense of virtual community plays a moderating role in the each relationship between codification effort, reward, knowledge self-efficacy and knowledge sharing behavior. Also the academic and practical contributions are placed in the conclusion.

Adotando o inquérito por questionário enquanto método de recolha de dados, as hipóteses formuladas foram testadas ao nível grupal.Os resultados revelaram uma relação positiva entre o capital psicológico grupal e a confiança grupal, nas suas duas componentes (afetiva e cognitiva). Não foi encontrada associação entre o capital psicológico e a inovação grupal e entre a confiança e a inovação grupal. Deste modo, a hipótese de mediação também não recebeu suporte empírico. Estes resultados vêm reforçar a relevância do capital psicológico enquanto estado emergente de grupo capaz de potenciar a confiança grupal. .

Therefore, we made an empirical research focusing on 57 work teams, belonging to Portuguese organizations from a variety of sectors of activity (e.g., services, industry). Furthermore, we used a questionnaire inquiry as a data collection method. The hypotheses were tested at a group level.The results showed that the group psychological capital related positively with the group trust on both components (affective and cognitive). However, there was no relation found either between psychological capital and team innovation neither between trust and group innovation. Thus, the mediation hypothesis could not be empirically supported. These results reinforce the importance of the role of psychological capital (as a group emerging state) on group trust. .

Virtual teams have been becoming a popular basic work unit in business environment but there is a gap in the understanding of how social capital affects the processes of knowledge sharing and creating, and their impacts on performance of virtual teams. How virtual teams social capital to stimulate team operation and achieve the benefit of knowledge sharing has become an important issue. The understanding of the relationship between social capital and knowledge can help improve team performance and lead the success of virtual teams. This study forms a framework by incorporating social capital and SECI model (Nonaka, 1994) and examines it by an experiment with 65 virtual teams collaborating in a MediaWiki 1.4 platform. This study uses Lisrel to verify the research model. The results showed that social capital (network ties, shared vision and trust) was positively related to the four SECI modes (socialization, internalization, combination and externalization) and three SECI modes (internalization, combination and externalization) were found to be positively related to performance of virtual teams except socialization.

The sense of virtual community is a critical issue in virtual community research. For this reason, understanding it deeply is important for studies of communities-of-practice, virtual collaboration, virtual organization, and other critical organizational or information systems issues. The purpose of our study is to examine how member’s sense of virtual community makes virtual group support in virtual community and what factors contribute to members’ sense of virtual community from social capital factors (social interaction ties, trust, and shared language) and group traits(group innovativeness and need for affiliation). This study demonstrates that the members of Facebook experienced their own virtual community as a community, similarly to the way people experience effective face-to-face communities. The research model was examined with data from members in the Facebook which is the most popular virtual community in Taiwan. Facebook is a well-known virtual community in Taiwan which everybody has connected and shared with their members. Samples finally consist of 135 groups who are in employment, a total of 675 questionnaires collected. Structural Equation model was conducted to examine the relationship between social capital, group traits, sense of virtual community, and social support online. The result indicates that most of social capital factors and group traits can directly build sense of virtual community which can result in giving support in virtual community. The implications for practice and future research directions are discussed.

The proliferation of Internet has facilitated the rapid growth of virtual communities. Many individuals participate in virtual communities for seeking knowledge to resolve problems at work. However, without rich knowledge, virtual communities are of limited value. Motivated by such concerns, this paper integrates the Social Capital Theory and the Social Exchange Theory to construct a model for investigating the factor affecting people’s knowledge sharing in virtual communities. This study is empirically validated through a survey with data from members of one professional virtual community called Delphi K.Top. The results indicate that Trust（Relational Dimension）、Knowledge Codification Efforts（Cost）、Enjoyment Helping（Intrinsic Benefit） significantly impact intention to share both of explicit and implicit knowledge. Identification（Relational Dimension） significantly impacts intention to share explicit knowledge but insignificant effect on intention to share implicit knowledge. Finally, Social Interaction Ties( Structural Dimension )、Shared Vision（Cognitive Dimension）、Reciprocity（Extrinsic Benefit） insignificantly impact intention to share both of explicit and implicit knowledge.

Esta investigação tem como objectivo analisar o impacto do uso da Internet em
"cidades divididas" – espaços urbanos caracterizados pela segregação e contestação
entre comunidades locais, cuja natureza da divisão depende de um conflito nacionalista.
A pesquisa usa como estudo de caso a cidade de Belfast, onde um tecido urbano
fracturado, caracterizado por artefactos defensivos e coesão social corroída -
consequência do conflito -, coexiste com um processo actual de reunificação. A nossa
premissa inicial é que, neste contexto, a Internet é uma ferramenta que pode facilitar a
criação de novos "muros" ou "pontes", entre comunidades separadas.
De forma a perceber esta problemática em toda a sua complexidade tivemos que
articular diferentes corpos de conhecimento de forma a construir um discurso de como o
espaço, as relações sociais e a Internet se interligam no contexto de uma cidade
dividida. Depois de explicitar as características que definem a “cidade dividida”,
observamos detalhadamente as características de Belfast que explicam a sua divisão e
transição pós-conflito, com ênfase particular nos programas implementados localmente
de construção da paz, que usam o conceito de Capital Social. No quadro teórico do
Capital Social, definimos os conceitos de "ponte" e "muro", considerados como factores
que promovem a reconciliação ou que incitam a divisão.
Após revisão da literatura sobre a relação entre a Internet e o Capital Social,
reconsiderando criticamente este último conceito, desenhamos uma sondagem para
estudar empiricamente a relação entre essas variáveis. A consulta foi realizada entre os
jovens de Belfast.
Usando um método misto - qualitativo e quantitativo -, apoiado por uma análise
espacial, encontramos indícios de que o uso da Internet tem uma influência dual na
transição de uma cidade dividida. De acordo com os nossos resultados, esse impacto
pode ser considerado positivo, uma vez que permite certas novas relações intercomunitárias,
apoiando a criação de espaços partilhados. Ao mesmo tempo, observou-se
um efeito negativo da Internet uma vez que esta tecnologia permite um novo tipo de
confronto que se reflecte na forma de ‘place-specific’ ciberbullying.This research aims to analyse the impact of Internet use on “divided cities” – defined as partitioned spaces characterised by community-based social contestation and segregation, whose nature depends on a nationalistic conflict. This investigation uses as its case study the city of Belfast, where a fractured urban fabric characterised by defensive artifacts and eroded social cohesion – both consequences of conflict – coexist with a contemporary process of reunification. Our argument is that, in this context, the Internet is a tool that can enable new “walls” or “bridges” between separated communities. In order to understand the issue in its complexity, we had to articulate different bodies of knowledge to form a discourse of how space, social relationships and the Internet intertwine within the context of a divided city. After clarifying the characteristics that define the divided city, we observe in detail those features of Belfast that explain its division and post-conflict transition, focusing in particular on how the implemented programmes of peace-building use the concept of social capital. In the theoretical framework of social capital we establish the meaning of “bridge” and “wall”, considered as factors that promote reconciliation, or feed division. After going through the literature review about the relation between the Internet and social capital, critically reconsidering the concept, we designed a survey in order to empirically study the relation between those variables. The survey was conducted among the youth of Belfast. Using a qualitative-quantitative mixed method, supported by a spatial analysis, we found indications that Internet use has a mixed influence on the transition of a divided city. According to our results, this impact can be considered as positive, given that it enables certain inter-communitarian relationships, supporting the creating of shared spaces; at the same time a negative effect was observed, as this technology enables a new type of clash in the form of place-specific cyberbullying.

Actually, knowledge has become the new society unique in recent year. However, most organizations do not possess all acquired knowledge within their formal boundaries and most rely on linkages to outside organizations and individuals to acquire knowledge. Despite the fact that Knowledge Sharing (KS) is very important, we found only little discussion about the reasons why people have the willingness to share knowledge at such platform even though there is no immediate benefit to the persons who contribute knowledge in it. Meanwhile, by reviewing interrelated articles in the past decade, we discovered that individual habitual tendencies would unconsciously influence people’s willingness or behavior. The aim of this study is to develop an integrative understanding of the factors that support or inhibit individuals’ knowledge sharing intentions in virtual communities and to find whether habit would generate people’s willingness to be involved. We apply Social Capital Theory (SCT), and we also add two dimensions for discussion: member incentive and habitual domain (HD). This research assembles the questionnaire from individuals who have experienced knowledge sharing in virtual communities, and applies survey and Structural Equation Model (SEM) to analyze the results from the questionnaires. Finally, results confirm that individuals are willing to share knowledge in virtual communities: 1) if they consider reciprocity, centrality, and have longer tenure in their field, and enjoy helping. 2) if they have the habit of sharing knowledge. This study is useful for the developers of virtual communities to insight into knowledge sharing in cyberspace. Keywords: Virtual Community, Habitual Domains (HD), Knowledge Sharing (KS), Social Capital Theory (SCT), Structural Equation Model (SEM).

The proliferation of virtual communities of practice (VCoPs) has dramatically and positively influenced the dissemination of knowledge. Thus the issues about why members of VCoPs violate rationality and further contribute knowledge in VCoPs have attracted the attention of researchers. Knowledge contribution in VCoPs can be explained by applying concepts of social capital and theory of collective action. However, to our best knowledge, there is no study that ever attempted to elaborate the relationship between social capital and theory of collective action or to examine the correlations of dimensions of social capital (structural capital, cognitive capital, and relational capital) in the context of VCoPs. For the purpose of discussing the above issues, this thesis conducted an investigation from the members of two VCoPs in Taiwan by applying the concepts of social capital, theory of collective action, and members’ sense of belonging toward the VCoPs. 232 valid questionnaires were collected. Analysis results from the questionnaires show that both members’ structural capital and cognitive capital are positively and significantly related to members’ sense of belonging, and, in turn, members’ sense of belonging is positively and significantly related to relational capital. Eventually, relational capital has a positive and significant influence on the knowledge contribution of members. The results also examined the correlations among dimensions of social capital and provide evidence that there is a significant and positive relationship between structural capital and cognitive capital. In conclusion, this thesis provides further understanding of knowledge contribution in VCoPs. For managerial implications, the study suggests that administrators of VCoPs can provide support for maintaining the proper level of feelings of sense of belonging and social capital among members within the VCoPs in order to improve their knowledge contribution.
