Recently the phenomenon of bloggers received great attentions, and thus bloggers’ opinions become influential for consumer’s trust evaluation toward transaction websites since bloggers act as field experts or early adopters. Drawing on the perspectives of elaboration likelihood model and trust transference, the objectives of this study aim to investigate the antecedents of “self-perception-based trust” and “transference-based trust” and the impacts of these two trusts on consumer’s transaction intention. The proposed model was empirically evaluated using survey data collected from 196 consumers about their perception of online shopping. The results show that (1) consumers trust in website (self-perception-based trust) and trust in blogger (transference-based trust) have significant effect on his or her intention to purchase; (2) Self-perception-based trust determinants (i.e., “service quality” and “brand image”) are positively related to consumer trust in transaction website; (3) transference-based trust determinants (i.e., “content quality of blog” and “user endorsement”) are positively related to consumer trust in blogger; (4) overall, blogger (transference-based trust) present more influential than commerce website (self-perception-based trust) on consumers’ intention to purchase. |
