Consumer Engagement As a Motivational Construct: Evidence From Consumption Experiences in an Online Auction

Two alternative views are widely held regarding the nature of consumer engagement – engagement as a psychological state, or engagement as consumption behaviour. This paper argues for an alternative view, consumer engagement as a motivational construct. This conceptualisation is explored in the context of consumption experiences in a consumer-to-consumer online auction.
