“…These social interactions offer satisfaction to the member, which influence their participation in the community (Casaló, Flavián, & Guinalíu, 2013).

“…Traditional communication channels are thought to have lost credibility: people are less likely to trust slick corporate advertising and promotional materials such as press releases, advertisements, banners, websites and brochures (Scobel & Israel, 2006) and increasingly rate alternative online sources of information as a more trusted source of information (Vidgen, Sims, & Powell, 2013). Social media and Web 2.0 have empowered individuals to generate their own content (Hajli, 2013;He, Zha, & Li, 2013) and provide easy access to information from online communities.…”

Social media and Web 2.0 empower individuals to generate content online. It is important to better understand the potential added value of social media for e-health service provision. Social support and credibility of health related information generated via social media is a big challenge for online health communities. In this qualitative research, content of discussions from an online health community is analysed. Two themes are examined: online social support and credibility of online forums. Findings show accuracy and credibility of online communities -user profiles, ratings of posts and improved monitoring of content by advisors improve perceived credibility and trust in online forums and communities. Accuracy and perceived credibility of online health communities is pivotal in facilitating social relationships. While consumers are concerned about the credibility of online information, they benefit from social support and are increasingly turning to social media as a source of information and support. Organizations can benefit from better understanding consumer's use of social media, their concerns about information credibility and need for social support.

“…Scholars have conducted research on how to effectively promote the knowledge sharing and knowledge flow in the community of practice in order to maximize the knowledge level of its members and whether the cultivation of a community of practice requires management [10]- [13]. Knowledge flow is the process of knowledge diffusion, knowledge transfer, knowledge sharing and related knowledge growth, which are generated by the interaction between different participants [14], [15].…”

The development of a community of practice may play an important role in promoting knowledge creation and knowledge sharing economics. However, due to the nature of humanity, community members must cope with collaboration and conflicts in order to achieve knowledge creation in the community of practice. Based on the evolutionary game theory, this paper analyzes and simulates the behavioral selection of community members in the knowledge creation process, in order to clarify how the selection strategies of community members evolves with time and related parameters, and to help us to further understand the game process and influencing factors. The results show that the consequences of a comprehensive game of community members are determined by the location of the saddle point, which will evolve to the evolutionary stable strategy. The closer the position of the saddle point is to the origin, the greater the probability that the community members will select the collaboration strategy. The probability of one member selecting a collaboration strategy will have an impact on the probability of another member selecting a collaboration strategy. Factors such as the coefficient of benefit distribution (α), the cost of knowledge creation (S), and the additional benefit obtained by the conflicting member (G) have an impact on the evolution of the selection strategy of community members in the knowledge creation process.

“…It should be mentioned that employees are also consumers of new media, and new communication technologies have an increasing presence in the workplace [11], yet studies have rarely recognized this issue [7]. Last but not least, the application of new media is the fastest growing topic for new media research, mainly focusing on corporate applications [18][19][20].…”

Good management of companies in the energy industry is critical to the world’s sustainable development as they are the guarantor of social lives and the cornerstone of economic development. This study tries to figure out how to improve the management of energy companies from the angle of new media use. It is widely known that the emergence of new media has provided more opportunities for the development of various entities in society, especially in improving the interaction mode of “enterprise–employee” and “enterprise–consumer”, and boosting the efficiency of information transmission. However, the technical and cutting-edge features of those new media have also resulted in some obstacles in their promotion among employees. To address this problem, this paper took the perspective of the social influence theory and the technological acceptance model (TAM), and sampled 20,161 employees from the energy industry in China to explore the effects of creative self-efficacy, perceived usefulness in information acquisition and perceived usefulness in communication on employees’ use of new media. Results have shown that both creative self-efficacy and perceived usefulness have positive effects on new media use of employees, and perceived usefulness mediates the relationship between creative self-efficacy and new media use. Leaders’ use moderates the mediation relationship, while it weakens the relationship between perceived usefulness and new media use. Our study enriches the knowledge regarding new media promotion and thereby offers insightful and practical implications for corporate managers.
