Abstract:

The dissemination behavior of network users for the video information will largely promote and disseminate the popularity of the video website and its services, and it can also greatly promote the diffusion and exchange of information and knowledge that is contained in the video content, which is conducive to the progress of society and civilization. Based on the theory of the internet word-of-mouth dissemination, this paper constructs the intention model the content dissemination behaviors of network video service users. Through the online questionnaire survey of Youku.com users and the social survey in the form of printing paper, 242 valid samples are obtained. The data obtained is processed by the PCA factor and the reliability analysis, and the CFA and path analysis of structural equation model are also used in this paper. This paper shows that the services platform support, the concern for others, the social benefits, the video quality, and the positive self-improvement have a significant effect on the content dissemination behavior intention of network video users, and among them, the impact of positive self-improvement is the most significant, but helping-the-company factor is not significant.
