Abstract
The purpose of this study is to propose the concept of conviction in online environment. It examines the vital role of conviction and brand reputation while understanding the impact of social media usage and E-WOM on purchase intentions on e-commerce platforms. Collecting data from respondents from DKI Jakarta using convenience sampling and questionnaires. Analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and empirically tested using Partial Least Square (PLS). The findings show that E-WOM and conviction have a positive effect on purchase intention and consumer loyalty. The results also revealed that social media usage does not have a positive effect on purchase intention. Furthermore, brand reputation (perceived by the customer) moderates the relationship between E-WOM and purchase intention in a manner that this relationship is significantly stronger if there is more positive brand reputation.
本研究旨在提出网络环境中 "信念 "的概念。在了解社交媒体的使用和网络口碑对电子商务平台购买意向的影响的同时,研究信念和品牌声誉的重要作用。采用便利抽样和问卷调查的方式从雅加达 DKI 的受访者中收集数据。使用结构方程模型(SEM)进行分析,并使用偏最小平方(PLS)进行实证检验。研究结果表明,网络口碑和信念对购买意向和消费者忠诚度有积极影响。结果还显示,社交媒体的使用对购买意向没有积极影响。此外,品牌声誉(顾客感知)调节了网络口碑与购买意向之间的关系,即如果品牌声誉更积极,则两者之间的关系会明显更强。
