[Purpose/significance] Based on Delone & Mclean's IS success model, This paper proposes a criterion, knowledge proliferation, to test the success of professional virtual community. In view of the shortcomings of the current research, this paper introduces the knowledge utilization, and points out that the knowledge application process can refine the general knowledge, modify the existing knowledge, expand the original theory and introduce the new theory. Then, this paper construct the paths model of knowledge proliferation in professional virtual community. [Method/process] Based on 332 valid questionnaires and using structural equation model, this paper empirically tested four paths of knowledge proliferation in professional virtual community. [Results/conclusion] The research finds that users first search for knowledge, then apply and modify knowledge, apply and develop new theories, and finally feed new knowledge back to PVC, which is the main paths to realize knowledge proliferation in professional virtual community.
