This thesis is concerned with the participation factor model on information sharing activities. The objective of this research is to propose the model for analyzing human participation factors on information sharing activities. The participation factor model is developed in order to uncover the way to improve and activate the information sharing activities from the point of human participation factors. The participation factor model is described by the following three standpoints. (1) The most basic standpoint is concerned with the human needs on substances, where substances are the components of the informational environment on information sharing activities, and where each need is related to the corresponding substance. (2) The second standpoint is concerned with the aspects of information, where each aspect of information interacts with the corresponding substance. (3) The third standpoint is concerned with the stage in the interaction between each aspect of information and the corresponding substance. Through integrating these three standpoints, each human need is connected with the stage in the interaction between each aspect of information and the corresponding substance.
