摘 要:   在线平台使用外部激励增长用户生成内容一直是信息管理系统领域的重要研究问题。区别于已有研究,文章关注描述奖励的规则,通过固定效应模型以及稳健性检验提出奖励规则的可读性会显著提升用户生成内容满足奖励要求(即“达标”)的可能性,同时奖励规则的数量还会显著正向调节两者之间的关系。研究内容不仅丰富了外部激励和用户生成内容的研究,还拓展了文本可读性的未来研究。从实践意义上,在线平台应当简洁清晰地描述奖励规则,并且推出多个逐步累进的奖励规则可以达到刺激用户生成内容的目的。

Abstract:  The use of external incentives on online platforms to stimulate user-generated content has been an ongoing research problem in the information management systems. By contrast with existing research, the article focuses on reward rules, and proposes that the readability of reward rules significantly increases the likelihood of user-generated content satisfying requirements (i.e., attainment), and that the number of reward rules also positively moderates the relationship between them, using fixed effects models and robustness tests. The research not only enriches the study of external incentives and user-generated content, but also expands the future research on text readability. At practice, online platforms should describe their reward rules concisely, and may launch multiple progressive reward rules that can serve to stimulate user-generated content.

Key words:  User-generated content; Reward rule; Readability

网络在线平台中的用户生成内容(如评论、日记和博客等)有助于消费者了解商品和供应商的质量来指导购买决策,作者也可获得帮助他人的满足感。对平台而言,用户生成内容可以帮助平台了解用户偏好,促进产品销售;如果是有价值的内容,还可以起到传播宣传的作用。然而用户生成内容从来都是稀缺性产品,并且消费者很难长期贡献用户生成内容,平台必须依靠激励来维持用户生成内容。以医美产品为例,其价格昂贵且效果不可逆,恢复周期普遍较长,因此医美产品严重缺乏用户生成内容的反馈。在线医美平台可以帮助消费者获取医美机构和医生信息,以及患者的康复经历。基于动机理论,刺激用户生成内容的关键因素包括外部激励和内部激励。……
