Personality Traits Antecedents of Online Brand Community Members’ Participation
In this study, we examined online brand community members’ antecedent traits predictors which affect them to participate in receiving and sending information within the online brand community. We adopted the 3M model (Mowen 2000) as the theoretical framework which postulates interlocking paths of influences in a hierarchical structure of personality traits to predict behavior. By using structural equation modeling analysis we obtained results that overall supports the proposed trait predictor model. The implications of the research were discussed.
