This research extends traditional public goods theory by examining the connectivity and communality properties of communication and information-based public goods. The study is a longitudinal examination of a communication and information-based public good, specifically, a large interorganizational computer-supported collaborative work system. The type of collective action involved in providing communication and information public goods is theorized to possess two properties that are uniquely important to communication forms of collective goods: connectivity and communality. A synthesis of the economic theories of contribution games and the sociological framework offered by Marwell and Oliver provides a model that considers both individual actors' rational motivations as well as their socially constrained and informed behavior. The research is designed to test multivariate, dynamic hypotheses that link collective action theory, communication and information systems, and collaborative work processes and effects.

这项研究通过考察通信和基于信息的公共产品的连通性和公共属性，扩展了传统的公共产品理论。该研究是对基于通信和信息的公共产品，特别是大型组织间计算机支持的协作工作系统的纵向检验。 从理论上讲，提供通信和信息公共产品所涉及的集体行动类型具有对集体产品的通信形式特别重要的两个属性：连通性和公共性。 贡献博弈的经济理论和马韦尔和奥利弗提供的社会学框架的综合提供了一个模型，该模型考虑了个体参与者的理性动机以及他们的社会约束和知情行为。该研究旨在测试将集体行动理论、通信和信息系统以及协作工作流程和效果联系起来的多元动态假设。
