In this study, we investigate how consumers’ motivation to spread messages via word-ofmouth(WOM) influences the content of the WOM messages. We classify consumers’motivation into two categories: hedonic and utilitarian motivation. Then we analyzehow each motivation affects the valence of the message (e.g., positive vs. negative)and the attributes that the consumers mention (e.g., hedonic vs. utilitarian). Using ascenario-based experiment, we found that the content of the messages was stronglyrelated to the motivation of the consumers. Consumers who are hedonically motivatedtend to mention hedonic attributes more, and consumers who are utilitarian-motivated arelikely to mention utilitarian attributes more. The valence of the message, however, is notaffected by consumers’ motivation.
Abstract
In this study, we investigate how consumers’ motivation to spread messages via word-ofmouth(WOM) influences the content of the WOM messages. We classify consumers’motivation into two categories: hedonic and utilitarian motivation. Then we analyzehow each motivation affects the valence of the message (e.g., positive vs. negative)and the attributes that the consumers mention (e.g., hedonic vs. utilitarian). Using ascenario-based experiment, we found that the content of the messages was stronglyrelated to the motivation of the consumers. Consumers who are hedonically motivatedtend to mention hedonic attributes more, and consumers who are utilitarian-motivated arelikely to mention utilitarian attributes more. The valence of the message, however, is notaffected by consumers’ motivation.
