Personal factors like social media usage and need to evaluate are stronger predictors of eWOM intentions than product-related factors.
摘要
This research explores the impact of personal factors and product quality on eWOM intentions. It highlights the importance of social media usage, marketing mavenism, and need to evaluate in driving eWOM behavior. The study also reveals that brand trust is a significant factor in inhibiting negative eWOM intentions. Additionally, positive eWOM intentions positively influence repurchase intentions, while negative eWOM intentions have a negative impact.
