Abstract

Purpose

There is an ongoing challenge to map the efficacy of e-retailing strategies in building both value co-creation opportunities for online customers and customer value for companies. Based on the service-dominant (S-D) logic, an integrative model is provided that connects the impact of convenience and personalisation strategies (CPSs) on an e-retailer's performance – by offering co-creation opportunities and customer engagement.

Design/methodology/approach

The survey instrument is validated and the model is tested with data from active online customers using a novel methodology that blends artificial neural network (ANN) analysis with partial least squares (PLS) in both the measurement model and the path analysis.

Findings

The findings robustly support the model and yield evidence of the contribution of CPSs in effective value propositions, the interface between the S-D logic and customer engagement, and the direct effect of customer engagement on tangible forms of value for companies.

Originality/value

This study is the first scholarly effort to provide a comprehensive understanding of how and why CPSs can maximise customer value for the e-retailer, while simultaneously testing the customer value/engagement interface with a new blended ANN-PLS method.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to analyze the factors that drive purchases via Instagram and contribute to the growth of Instagram Commerce and examine the moderating role of gender, age and experience in Instagram use in the proposed relationship between six variables derived from commitment–trust theory, the technology acceptance model and consumer decision-making theory.

Design/methodology/approach

A survey was completed by respondents after watching a video about Instagram Commerce. A total of 404 valid responses were collected. The research model was analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling.

Findings

This study makes numerous contributions to Instagram Commerce and holds significant implications for professionals in the social commerce field. Among other results, we found that trust, attitude, perceived usefulness and alternative evaluation significantly affected consumers’ purchase intentions. However, this study found no relationship between trust or ease of use and purchase intention. Finally, it demonstrates the moderating role of gender, age and experience on some of these relationships.

Originality/value

This research centers on an analysis of consumer purchase behavior on Instagram Commerce, taking a highly innovative approach. The particular originality of this study lies in the proposed model of adoption of social commerce via Instagram, based on a critical framework. This study also provides an original analysis of the moderating effect of the classification variables: gender, age and experience in Instagram use.

Factores que impulsan la intención de compra en Istagram Commerce

Resumen

Objetivo

Los objetivos de la presente investigación son (i) analizar los factores que impulsan las compras a través de Instagram y contribuyen al crecimiento del comercio en Instagram y (ii) examinar el papel moderador del género, la edad y la experiencia en el uso de Instagram sobre la relación propuesta a partir de seis variables derivadas de la Teoría del Compromiso-Confianza, el modelo TAM y la Teoría de la Toma de Decisiones del Consumidor.

Diseño/metodología/enfoque

Los encuestados completaron una encuesta después de ver un vídeo sobre Instagram Commerce. Se recogieron un total de 404 respuestas válidas. El modelo de investigación se analizó mediante un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales de mínimos cuadrados parciales.

Resultados

El presente estudio hace numerosas contribuciones al Instagram Commerce y tiene importantes implicaciones para los profesionales del campo del comercio social. Entre otros resultados, encontramos que la confianza, la actitud, la utilidad percibida y la evaluación alternativa afectan significativamente a las intenciones de compra de los consumidores. Sin embargo, este estudio no encontró ninguna relación entre la confianza o la facilidad de uso y la intención de compra. Por último, se demuestra el papel moderador del género, la edad y la experiencia en algunas de estas relaciones.

Originalidad

Esta investigación se centra en un análisis del comportamiento de compra de los consumidores en Instagram Commerce, adoptando un enfoque muy innovador. La originalidad particular del trabajo radica en la propuesta de un modelo de adopción del comercio social a través de Instagram, basado en un marco crítico. El estudio también proporciona un análisis original del efecto moderador de las variables de clasificación: género, edad y experiencia en el uso de Instagram.

目的

本研究的目的是(i)分析推动通过Instagram购买并促进Instagram商务发展的因素; (ii)研究性别、年龄和使用Instagram的经验对源自承诺-信任理论、TAM模型和消费者决策理论的六个变量之间的拟议关系的调节作用。

设计/方法/途径

受访者在观看了有关Instagram商业的视频后完成了一项调查。共收集到404份有效的回复。研究模型采用偏最小二乘法结构方程模型进行分析。

研究结果

本研究对Instagram商务做出了许多贡献, 并对社交商务领域的专业人士具有重要意义。在其他结果中, 我们发现信任、态度、感知有用性和替代性评价对消费者的购买意向有显著影响。然而, 本研究发现信任或易用性与购买意向之间没有关系。最后, 它证明了性别、年龄和经验对其中一些关系的调节作用。

原创性

这项研究以分析消费者在Instagram商务上的购买行为为中心, 采取了一种高度创新的方法。这项研究的独特之处在于提出了一个基于批判性框架的通过Instagram进行社交商务的模型。该研究还对分类变量的调节作用进行了原创性分析:性别、年龄和使用Instagram的经验。
