  text: Blogging has often been described as writing an online diary but, nowadays,
    it is more diverse and a considerable amount of blogs forms a common interconnected
    resource – the blogosphere – with comprehensive societal impact. While various
    studies have inquired social-psychological influenceson the intention to contribute
    to an individual blog, the perceptions related to creating such a common valuable
    good have not yet been focussed. Therefore, we introduce a new construct – the
    oeuvre of blogging – to better account for the notion of the blogosphere as a
    collective outcome. Furthermore, we propose a research model to inquire the influence
    of individual and collective beliefs on the oeuvre in comparison to short-term
    blogging activity. We conducted an online survey with 509 international distributed
    bloggers to test our model. The results of our study provide support for the importance
    of an oeuvre construct to explain influences on bloggers and blogging
