Abstract
Recent literature asserts that collaborative writing in online shared documents
requires both open-mindedness to others' ideas and the development of a
sense of collective psychological ownership toward a shared outcome.
However, there is yet little evidence to support this assertion. Therefore, this
study was set to examine the relationship between the two constructs - openmindedness and collective psychological ownership and the extent to which
this relationship is affected by the individual's technology expertise. The
research applied the convergent mixed methods approach, using both
quantitative and qualitative tools for data collection and analysis. Findings
revealed a positive relationship between the two constructs and indicated that
this relationship is stable beyond the individual's level of technology
expertise.
