尽管认可是虚拟社区成功的众多因素之一，但它在学术和实践研究中却很少受到关注。这项解释性案例研究以信息共享理论为概念基础，探讨了认可对参与学术着装虚拟社区的影响。结果表明，虚拟社区中存在三种不同形式的感知认可，即身份、专业知识和有形认可。该研究还强调，这些形式的认可、其影响和参与之间存在联系。讨论了对社区组织者和研究人员的影响。
Although recognition counts among the numerous factors that contribute towards the success of virtual communities, it has received little attention in both academic and practitioner studies. Adopting the theory of information sharing as the conceptual foundation, this interpretive case study examines the effect of recognition on participation in a virtual community for academic dress. Results indicate that there exist three different forms of perceived recognition in a virtual community, namely identity, expertise and tangible recognition. The study also highlights that a link exists across these forms of recognition, their effects, and participation. Implications for community organizers and researchers are discussed.
