Abstract: The trend of citizen journalism enables people to actively share
knowledge. This research aimed to analyse which factors influence the
individual to share knowledge in citizen media. Our research model was
organised using stimulus-organismic-response (SOR) framework by focusing
stimulus from social and technological environment. The five points Likert
scale questionnaire was developed and distributed to 850 Kompasiana’s
contributors (the largest citizen media platform in Indonesia) via message
feature, thus obtaining 295 valid respondents who fill the questionnaire
completely. Those data then were analysed by structural equation modelling
method using AMOS 22.0. The result shows that both social and technological
environment significantly influences the intention to share knowledge.
