A central tenet of economics is that people respond to incentives (Benabou and Tirole 2003). People are extrinsicaUy motivated if their needs are satisfied indirectly via pecuniary compensation, e.g., workers are given US 10 when they share construction safety knowledge on Facebook or the possible prospect of promotion (Cabrera and Cabrera 2002). Motivators as such do not provide direct utility but serves to acquire desired goods and services only (Margit and Frey 2000), Such view coincides perfectly with Reinforcement theory supporters (Davidsom and Griffin 2006). 

The revolution of Web 2.0 in the internet introduces a new channel for construction safety researchers to share their knowledge. It also brings in the question of motivation and resistance in doing so. Openness and transparency are important factors in the success of Web 2.0 construction safety knowledge sharing (Eysen-bach 2008). Besides, web site owners have to understand the extrinsic and intrinsic motivation of safety researchers, e.g. their perceived payoff of knowledge sharing.
