The Impact of Social Presence on Trust in C2C Social Commerce
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims at examining the determinants of trust in a customer-to-customer social commerce (C2C s-commerce) based on the concept of social presence, and exploring the influence of trust in purchase intention and word-of-mouth intention. The online surveys were conducted to obtain data from C2C s-commerce customers. A total of 253 usable responses were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The finding indicated that social presence of social media (γ11 = 0.19, p < .01), social presence of interaction with sellers (γ12 = 0.32, p < .001), and social presence of others (γ13 = 0.57, p < .001) significantly influenced trust in s-commerce sellers. Finally, trust in s-commerce sellers significantly influenced word-of-mouth intention (β21 = 0.86, p < .001) and purchase intention (β31 = 0.75, p < .001).
