This study examined the roles of social norms and individual differences in influencing Internet users' intention to upload content on [[Wikipedia]] in South Korea. It also compared the impacts of these variables on the uploading intention between users and non-users of Wikipedia. Using data from a survey of college students (185 Wikipedia users and 158 non-users), the study found that the effect of social norms including descriptive norm and injunctive norm was smaller than expected, while that of individual differences-self-efficacy, issue involvement, and ego involvement-was more important in accounting for the intention to upload. Theoretical implications and limitations were discussed.
