“…Past studies on SNS have indicated that SN, attitude, and PBC are significantly related to behavioral intentions (intentions to use) in entertainment contexts (Al Debei et al, 2013;Baker and White, 2010;Kim et al, 2016). They are also partially related, as in the case of the positive effect of SN and attitude on intentions to use SNS (Chiang, 2013), to the positive effect of attitude on intentions among users of social networking tourism sites (French et al, 2017), or the influence of SN on intentions to use SNS (Ku et al, 2013). Thus, based on the findings obtained in this previous literature, there is a positive effect on the relationship between SN and intention to use.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to design and test a conceptual model integrating uses and gratifications (UGT), self-image congruity (SIC), and theory of planned behavior (TPB) theories to identify the drivers that lead users to develop intentions to purchase clothing products through social networking sites (SNS). Design/methodology/approach Using an online questionnaire, data were collected from customers of clothing products who visit the SNS of their preferred clothing brands (n=1,003). Empirical results, using partial least squares regressions, were used to test the conceptual model. Findings The results supported the model and showed, as the main result, that purchase intention through the use of SNS is positively affected by intentions to use SNS and SNS use. SNS use is influenced by intentions to use SNS and by UGT. Intentions to use SNS are positively affected by UGT, attitude and perceived behavioral control (PBC). Attitude is positively influenced by UGT, SIC, PBC and subjective norm. Social implications These findings reveal that the critical elements in achieving purchase intentions in users through SNS include obtaining their participation by managing the SNS according to users’ self-image and offering useful gratifications. Originality/value This paper integrates theories of SIC, UGT and the TPB in a context of technology post-adoption to understand users’ purchase intentions through SNS. By establishing this novel theoretical integration approach, this paper furthers insight into purchase intentions through SNS.

“…This approach has recently received scholars' attention in the Information Systems discipline [79], and coupled with complexity theory, it may help in theory building [80]. Extant studies on the antecedents of satisfaction in online travel-related information seeking focus on the average effects of single variables rather than on the effects of combinations (sets) of several variables [11,16,20,27,35,70,81]. Thus, from a methodological standpoint, this study is the first to apply configurational analysis to explain information satisfaction in the context of online tourism.…”

“…In each of these projects, they adopted a different mixed methods design, which they explain to readers. Like other researchers (e.g., French et al, 2017;Heimtun and Morgan, 2012;Molina-Azorin and Font, 2016;Nunkoo et al, 2013a), Jose and colleagues advocate the use of mixed methods research in tourism and hospitality studies, and discuss its benefits.…”
