Abstract

Social commerce refers to an extension of e-commerce sites, integrated with social media and Web 2.0 technology to encourage online purchases and interactions with customers before, during, and after the purchase. As the country with the largest e-commerce market in Southeast Asia and many active social media users, Indonesia has many opportunities to implement successful social commerce. Since customers are the primary focus in social commerce, repurchase and word-of-mouth (WOM) intentions have been considered as significant behavioural intentions after a customer completes a purchase. Thus, this study aims to identify factors that affect customers’ repurchase and WOM intentions. A total of 421 sets of survey data were gathered from social commerce customers in Indonesia and analysed using the partial least squares approach. The results indicate that repurchase and WOM intentions are positively affected by trust and satisfaction, where both trust and satisfaction are positively affected by reputation and information quality. The results provide theoretical and practical implications for future social commerce research and practical implications for social commerce firms.
