With the creation of the maker space,maker movement is thriving around the word,and has become an important driving force of the "new industrial revolution".The development of the maker movement is also related to the continuous participation of the maker.At present,the participants of the maker movement often have unstable characteristics,resulting in the low utilization rate of some maker space or insufficient capacity,and affect the sustained and healthy development of maker movement.Previous research literatures have studied individual participant behavior from the perspectives of innovation,entrepreneurship and maker education,but there is little literature to explore the participant behavior of the maker.At the same time,due to the non-economic pursuit of the maker and the economic benefits of the maker movement,the participation behavior of the maker movement in the real life becomes more complex and diverse.Therefore,it is of great significance to explore the influencing factors and the mechanism of the participation behavior,which can provide effective theoretical guidance and management suggestions for the policy formulation and space management in China.In view of this,this study uses the grounded theory of the qualitative research method to explore the theoretical model of the influencing factors of the participation behavior,and analyze its mechanism.First of all,this study summarizes the relevant literature,introduces the concept of the maker movement,and combs the existing research results of the factors influencing the factors of the maker movement participatory behavior,and further clarifies the research perspective and the research problem.Secondly,this paper uses the public welfare maker space and the school maker space as the sample source to find the effective interview object to collect the data,and use the Nvivio11.0 software and the grounded theory research method to sort out and analyze the collected data,constructs the influencing factors model of the public participation in the maker movement.Finally,this study uses the motivational theory,the theory of planning behavior and the theory of the personal relevance to explain the mechanism of the factors influencing the factors of participation in the maker movement,and explains how these influencing factors and how they affect the individual's participation in behavioral decision-making.The results show that the behavioral decision of the individual participates in the maker movement is affected by the internal and external influencing factors and the personal relevance.The internal influencing factors include participation motivation and attitude,and external influencing factors include subjective norm and perceived behavior control.Personal relevance include the correlation between maker movement and occupation and profession,and has a significant influence on the relationship between willingness to participate and actual behavior.Based on the theory of motivational behavior and the theory of planning behavior,this paper puts forward the motivational-planned behavior theory model of the maker movement participation of the public in the Chinese context,further expands the application field of the planning behavior theory and the motivational theory,and enriches the theory of the maker.This study has a good practical guiding significance for attracting and maintaining more people to participate in the maker movement,which provides management suggestions for the better development of China's maker movement.
