Abstract: As a new network financing pattern, P2P lending financing is facing the problems of low-lender-participation. By using the transaction data of RenRenDai, based on value creation theory, the paper discussed influence factors and extent of lender-participation from two aspects of perceived value and perceived risk from the lender with factor analysis and PLS-SEM. Research shows that the borrower′s credit risk and lenders′ return on investment have an important impact on the lender participation,but borrowers′ characters and solvency have no significant impact. Healthy development of P2P network lending is inseparable from the borrower′s creditworthiness and increase of lenders′ investment revenue.

Key words: value creation, P2P lending, lender participation
