碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 教育研究所 === 104 === The purpose of this study is to understand the relationships between relational embeddedness, knowledge sharing, and knowledge quality of Facebook teacher communities and teachers' competencies. Both online and paper questionnaires were distributed and finally, 277 valid responses were collected. Descriptive statistics and the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) were used to analyze the collected data. The results indicated that relational capital could positively predict knowledge sharing and knowledge quality; knowledge sharing and knowledge quality could positively affect teachers' competencies; relational capital showed positive prediction effect on teachers' competencies through knowledge sharing. Implications and suggestion for future studies were also provided. For example, researchers could (1) investigate whether there is any difference in knowledge sharing while levels of relational capital changing, (2) employ qualitative methods to study relationships between relational embeddedness, knowledge sharing, and knowledge quality of Facebook teacher communities and teachers' competencies, (3) develop a more adequate scale for measuring knowledge quality of online professional communities.
