Student Journalists Acceptance on Collaborative Writing Wikis

摘要

The objectives of the study are to identify relevant key intention determinants to Wikis use and to better understand the knowledge creation processes through an investigation of the individual planning and writing patterns. Surprisingly, perceived usefulness (technology utility) was found not significant to intention to use; while image became the strongest determinant to behavioral intention to use. Individual factors such as computer self-efficacy, personal innovativeness with technology were both significant determinants. Open-end survey items collected significant details from individual student journalists about their knowledge creation processes. Implications to Wikis implementation and limitations of the study are discussed.
