“…Second, people tend to use or not use an application to the extent they believe it will help them perform their tasks better and this is referred to as perceived usefulness (Davis, 1989). Several previous studies have examined the construct of perceived usefulness of eWOM on SNS (Casaló et al, 2010;Park and Lee, 2009;Jin 2013). According to TAM; upon which the current research model is built; perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and intention to use eWOM on SNS are mediating variables between the actual usage behavior of eWOM on SNS (the dependent variable) and the external variables namely; concern for others, economic incentives, extraversion and social benefits; which are the independent variables of this study.…”
