While many studies have examined contributors’ participation in open source software (OSS) communities, limited attention has been paid to the quality of their contribution. We build on von Hippel and von Krogh’s (2003) idea of private benefits and develop a model to examine how new comer contributors’ decisions regarding i) continued participation and ii) effort investment (in subsequent contribution) are affected by their beliefs about the private benefits they expect to obtain, and how the formation of such beliefs depends on their initial interactions with project gatekeepers.
