“…Fifth, given that our study only focused on the catalyzing nature of opinion leaders, we did not uncover their mediating effect. There is evidence from a study using structural equation modeling that the influence of nursing knowledge on professional practice behavior is partially mediated by perceptions of online leaders [134]. This mediation seems to be important when examining the relationship between attitudes and practice, because the influence of opinion leaders can explain why some members might have more knowledge and positive attitudes toward knowledge-sharing but low levels of actual practice or the provision of knowledge.…”

“…The advantages of OCOPs are the ability to connect members, to share information and to promote an effective engagement in the learning process (Pesare et al., 2017), mitigating distance hinderers and time limitation due to busy life, increase knowledge‐sharing opportunities and engage in collaborative activities (Jesionkowska, 2020; Pesare et al., 2017). The popularity of OCOPs and their potential benefits have been explored in previous studies, with one significant stream of research focusing on the reasons that members contribute their time and knowledge to these communities (Kumi & Sabherwal, 2018).
