Abstract

The principal focus of this paper is the development of a conceptual model that incorporates personality variables and service provider-related social media characteristics to propose their impact on consumers' perceptions of the usefulness of social CRM and user satisfaction with a service provider's social CRM efforts, as well as the impact of these perceptions on subsequent intentions and behaviors such as intention to continue social engagement, social engagement with the brand, and electronic word-of-mouth generation. The model proposes positive and significant relationships among the personality variables and perceptions of usefulness and user satisfaction with a service provider's social CRM efforts. In addition, social media platform characteristics also have positive and significant on these variables, which in turn positively and significantly impact consumer social engagement and e-WOM generation. The conceptual model needs validation. Survey data can be obtained and SEM can be used to assess the proposed links in the model.
