Objectives
Despite growing research on online learning, online professional engagement remains underdefined. Clarifying the factors that influence this concept and identifying its core attributes, antecedents, and consequences are essential to enhancing digital collaboration, networking, and knowledge exchange, to inform future engagement strategies.
Design
A concept analysis was conducted using Walker and Avant’s structured method for concept clarification.
Data Sources
A comprehensive literature search was performed across CINAHL, PubMed, and ERIC databases, covering publications from 1999 to 2024. Inclusion criteria limited results to peer-reviewed, full-text articles in English, yielding 11 relevant studies.
Review Methods
Walker and Avant’s eight-step concept analysis approach was employed to identify and examine key characteristics and contextual factors of online professional engagement.
Results
Five defining attributes were identified: active participation, interaction, knowledge sharing, networking, and collaboration.
Conclusions
Online professional engagement is defined as the active participation and interaction of individuals within digital platforms or communities relevant to their professional fields, encompassing various activities aimed at connecting, sharing knowledge, collaborating, and building relationships with experts, peers, and stakeholders through online channels.
