Abstract

This study explores the antecedents of usage intentions to use Facebook commerce from an asymmetric point of view. The methodology consists of qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) asymmetric methods as well as structural equation methods (SEM). This study employs the SEM partial least squares analysis method to validate existing theories that examine the relationships between variables such as electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM), trust, perceived value, and usability of the new technology discussed in this study. The results from the fuzzy-set QCA show that not all the variables are necessary conditions for influencing F-commerce usage intention, with the variables of usability × perceived value × trust being the most important for obtaining valid and useful results, while in SEM analysis, trust, perceived value and eWOM have been shown to be influential variables in usage intentions. The novelty of this study has to do with an analysis of a growing context such as e-commerce through Facebook, in order to contribute to its understanding so that such information is useful for the management of this context of social networks, for a better use in terms of trade, improving the effectiveness and efficiencies of management decisions.
