According to social network theory (Park and Lee, 2014), there are two major knowledge sharing behaviors to achieve higher centrality: frequency and originality of knowledge sharing.
It indicates that the higher the individual center level was previously in the virtual community network, the higher the current frequency and originality of the knowledge sharing behavior in the virtual network.
In Model 4 and Model 5, the previous centrality plays significant positive roles on the frequency and originality of current knowledge sharing behavior (0.301, p < 0.01 in Model 4; 0.281, p < 0.05 in Model 5), therefore H3a and H3b are accepted.
Yet while a large body of literature addresses the impact of patent originality on various firm performance measures, we address the question of what conditions drive patent originality in the process of knowledge creation within the university.
Moreover, this study considers frequency and originality as two "strategies" of knowledge sharing for building the personal advantage in a virtual community and looks at the inter-relationship with network position in a dynamic virtual community.
Based on the theory of network effects and competition, we found that frequency and originality are both effective methods of knowledge sharing behavior that help build higher centrality in such dynamic virtual communities.
Therefore, such events should be well-organized, monitored and evaluated in order to reach an acceptable level of scientific rigor, originality and contribution to the base of knowledge.
By creating such paintings, artists demonstrated their knowledge and originality of thought, qualities that raised painting to the elevated status of a liberal art.
In view of all the mentioned information, the novelty and originality of the current paper can be checked.
