摘要

[目的/意义] 对定性比较分析(QCA)与结构方程模型(SEM)两种方法进行应用比较分析,为学者选用合适方法研究图书情报领域中的问题提供有益参考,以提升本学科整体研究水平。 [方法/过程] 对QCA和SEM的原理、操作步骤和应用情况进行详尽阐述与对比分析,QCA主要是构建新理论和延伸已有理论,而SEM主要是验证完善已有理论;再分别运用QCA和SEM进行线上知识付费用户持续使用意愿的实证研究。 [结果/结论] 结果显示,两种方法在图书情报领域研究中各有优势与局限,均适合用于探究因果关系。但QCA适合分析图书情报领域内多元复杂关系,而SEM适用于分析变量间净效应关系,同时,SEM在处理潜在变量间较为简单因果关系时更具合理性。QCA在分析小样本数据方面更有优势,可以弥补结构方程仅适合分析大样本数据的局限性。随着混合研究方法的兴起,在图书情报领域,定性比较分析法和结构方程也可以互相合作互补,进一步完善验证研究结论。

Abstract

[Purpose/Significance] Many scholars are using qualitative comparative analysis and structural equation modeling to conduct empirical analysis in the field of library and information, but few relevant studies are comparing the two methods. This study can provide a useful reference for selecting appropriate methods to explore the problems in the field of library and information, which is of great benefit to improving the overall research level of this discipline. [Method/Process] The principle, operation procedure, and application of QCA and SEM are elaborated and compared, and then QCA and SEM are respectively used to conduct an empirical study on the willingness of online knowledge paying users to continue using. [Result/Conclusion] The results showed that there were differences between the two methods. In terms of theoretical basis, QCA theory is based on set theory and Boolean algebra, while SEM theory is based on analysis of variance. In terms of causal analysis, QCA emphasizes equivalence and asymmetry, which is suitable for analyzing complex and interrelated problems with multiple antecedents, and SEM emphasizes linearity and symmetry, which is suitable for analyzing the relationship between two variables. In terms of research objectives, QCA is mainly to construct new theories and extend existing theories, while SEM is mainly to verify and improve existing theories. In terms of logic analysis, QCA is mostly an exploratory analysis method in logic analysis, while SEM is mostly a verification analysis method. In empirical studies, the multiple pathways resulting from QCA can complement the univariate conclusions of SEM.
