While users' active behavior is important for the survival of social network services (SNSs) and the success of social commerce, hardly any extant research has explored the mind-sets driving users' active behavior and the antecedents determining these mindsets in the SNS context. Because SNS users are the primary human resources who co-produce and generate the excitement and services that determine the level of traffic to the community, users often act as "partial employees" of online communities. Thus, Originated from the organization behavior domain, commitment theory is appropriate to explain users' mind-sets of active behavior in a SNS. In addition, social support theory, sunk cost theory, and social influence theory can be considered as antecedents determining three components of commitment (i.e., affective, continuance, and normative commit- ment) respectively. In this study, we developed a research model by integrating commitment theory, social support, sunk cost theory, and the social influence perspective to investigate the mind-sets driving users' active behavior and antecedents of these mind-sets. The results of our survey of 1239 users of Renren in China indicated that affective and continuance commitments are the main drivers of users' active behavior on SNSs, while normative commitment has little influence on users' active behavior. Further, informational support and emotional support from the social support theory, reputational capital and relational capital from the sunk cost theory, subjective norm and perceived critical mass from the social influence perspective perform well as antecedents of affective, continuance, and normative commitment, respectively. Taken together, these findings contribute to the SNS literature and deepen our understanding about user's active behavior in a SNS. This study extends the application of the commitment theory and proves the different roles of three components of commitment in driving user's active behavior. The integrating of these four theories provides a framework for future research in investigating users' other online behaviors. The findings also have important implications for practice by providing guidance on how to stimulate users' active behavior in a SNS.
