Background: The increasing use of social media to sell products and the
huge number of social media’s users makes the study consumer-brand
engagement behavior within social media, Facebook in particular, necessary.
Aim: This study aims to examine 5 antecedents of attitude on consumer
intentions to engage with retail brand through social effecting the likelihood
to make purchases as well as an antecedent moderation of attitude on the
intention to make purchases.
Method: The study is conducted on office workers using quantitative survey
methods to 195 respondants. The analysis is conducted by using the
Structural Equation Model (SEM).
Findings: The findings reveal that while the consumer attitudes to engage
with retail brands through Facebook are driven by enjoyment, peer
communication, and credibility, the attitudes have strong influence to the
intentions to engage with retail brands through Facebook and subsequently
are strongly connected with the intentions to purchase through a retail brand’s
Facebook page. These findings support prior studies. The findings are that
consumers’ attitudes have positive effects on consumer intentions, and that
the confirmation of expectation moderates the attitude on consumer
intentions to make purchase through a retail brand’s Facebook page. The
managerial contribution of this study helps retailers to understand how to
attract consumers to engage with retail brands through Facebook.

INTRODUCTION
Social media users in Indonesia now reach 160 million people (Datareportal 2020). This
has an effect on the marketing model that has begun to shift from conventional marketing to
marketing through social media. Social media platforms are rapidly changing the way
consumers interact with products and retail companies (Kao et al. 2016; Sidharta et al. 2021).
Retail brands use technology to reach consumers, and almost all have a form of presence on
social media. Several studies have shown that buyers use social media to make purchases online
while interacting with companies (Haslehurst et al. 2016). Consumer engagement is getting
higher and more and more retail companies are using social media to communicate with
consumers (Assimakopoulos et al. 2017). According to Lin et al. (2014) and Van Doorn (2010),
consumers’ involvement in retail brands can be defined as the representation of their
continuous intention to use social media to interact or purchase products and services.
Social media has influenced various aspects of consumer behavior including the level of
consumer awareness of a product (Mangold and Faulds 2009), internet usage patterns (Laroche
et al. 2012; Ross et al. 2009), as well as information obtained on behavior after purchase, for

Media

example complaints and word-of-mouth communication (Mangold and Faulds 2009). Social
media makes consumers to engage, exchange or share with that consumer (Hennig-Thurau et
al. 2010; Sashi 2012), and sharing their experiences with companies and brands through word-
of-mouth communication or reviews (Chen, Fay, and Wang 2011; Trusov, Bodapati, and
Bucklin 2010). In addition, a large number of consumers use social media to interact or engage
with brands (Naylor, Lamberton, and West 2012; Swani, Milne, and Brown 2013), and also to
purchase products and services (Hajli 2013; Yadav et al. 2013).
Several studies have investigated the implications of social media on corporate
communication costs (Gecti and Dastan 2013), branding (Bruhn, Schoenmueller, and Schäfer
2012), communication from mouth to mouth (Chu and Kim 2011), selling (Chen et al. 2011;
Kumar and Mirchandani 2012), segmentation, (Foster, West, and Francescucci 2011), market
research (Patino, Pitta, and Quinones 2012), public relation (Luo and Jiang 2012), customer
identification (Hall-Phillips et al. 2016), and interaction between customer and brand (Tsai and
Men 2013). Aside from that, some other research also consider online review’s use on
customer’s decision-making (Chen et al. 2011; Sen and Lerman 2007), purchase intention (Kim
and Ko 2012; Wang, Yu, and Wei 2012), and selling. However, there is close to no information
regarding factors causing retail brands through their social media.
According to Fishbein & Ajzen (1975), a person's behavior is driven by his attitude to
carry out his behavior. Chiu and Leng (2016) state that the more positive someone’s behavior
on a product, the higher their purchase intention. Customer’s behavior is caused by social
influence (Rychalski and Palmer 2017) but can also be caused by knowledge, previous
behavior, and personality type (Yu and Yu 2017). According to Imelia and Ruswanti (2017),
one of the factors that affect consumer attitudes is the country of origin. Attitudes towards
engagement with retail brands through social media are influenced by several factors, namely
the perception of usability, the perception of the usefulness of a technology has a significant
impact on its use (Venkatesh et al. 2003); compatibility, if a person feels that they have a strong
match between a need and innovation, they have a positive attitude to that innovation (Shih
and Fang 2004); enjoyment, Moon & Kim (2001) found that enjoyment is a key factor in users'
acceptance of the internet; credibility, according to Grabner-Kräuter & Kaluscha (2003) lack
of credibility is the main barrier of consumers who will use e-commerce sites; peer
communication, according to Smith et al. (2005), peer communication has a strong influence
on attitudes for product purchase orientation (Lueg et al. 2006) which also has an impact on
consumer decisions. Yanuar et al. (2020) say the higher the influence consumers receive from
their environment, the higher their online purchase intentions. According to Nam et al. (2017),
confirmation of expectations has proven effective for testing consumers' purchasing intentions.
Therefore, variables related to consumer experience should be analyzed more deeply to explore
them as predictors of consumer behavior (Morgeson, Sharma, and Hult 2015) and confirmation
of expectations as moderators.
In Indonesia, Facebook is a social media with an active user of 130 million people
(Datareportal 2020). Facebook has become a widespread global phenomenon to support
interpersonal communication, entertainment, reading news (Holcomb et al. 2013). Facebook
generally contains blog posts, news stories, or content shared by user accounts. Facebook is
also more text-based, so marketers' chances of getting Facebook users to read through existing
updates are greater (sproutsocial 2019).
Factors Affecting Customer’s Behavior and Intention on Purchase Intention through Brand Retail’s Social
Media
1561 Interdisciplinary Social Studies, 2(1), Oct 2022
In particular, there are four gaps found in this study, namely: First, at least consistent
research on consumer interactions with retail brands through Facebook (Tsai and Men 2013;
Yadav et al. 2013), as well as the potential impact of such interactions on purchasing behavior
(Bianchi and Andrews 2018) in Indonesia. Second, in general research on social media is
conducted on cognitive variables (e.g. perceived usefulness) as drivers of intention to engage
in social media, and few studies consider affective variables (e.g. enjoyment), relational
variables (peer communication), and the influence of social media credibility on purchase
intentions (Bianchi and Andrews 2018). Third, there has never been any research on the
relationship between consumer attitudes towards engagement with retail brands and consumers'
intention to purchase retail products through Facebook (Bianchi and Andrews 2018). Fourth,
according to Wang, et al. (2019), when consumer expectations of products correspond to
reality, their purchasing intentions will also increase. Hence, this study included a new variable
of confirmation expectations as a moderator of consumer attitudes towards consumers'
intentions to buy retail products.
METHOD
The model hypothesis was tested through an online survey conducted on consumers. The
study's population consisted of Facebook users in Indonesia who had followed the retail brand's
Facebook page and worked in the office. The questionnaire was developed in Indonesian to
ensure respondents' understanding of the question. The survey will be tested ahead of time with
an initial sample of 30 consumers in Indonesia, which is expected to result in small changes to
the wording for some questions to improve meaning. After that, an online survey will be sent
to several participants from a database of random Facebook users in Indonesia. Participants
received a message presenting the purpose of the study and a survey link.
The questionnaire was distributed in the time span between January 2021 and April 2021.
The respondents of this study are the general public who work in offices, this can be seen from
195 respondents consisting of 67 working as executives/managers, 34 working as teachers, and
the remaining 96 respondents are office workers/cashiers/administration. Hence, the
respondents represent office workers in Indonesia.
The survey began with a section that asked about social media usage and the main activities
respondents did on Facebook related to the brand. The following sections provide items that
measure the variables indicated in the model. The questionnaire uses the steps available from
the previous literature.
All steps used in this study were taken or adapted from previous studies and measured on
the Likert scale with a scale of 1 - 5 (1 = strongly disagree once and 5 = strongly agree with it).
The measurement of the dependent variable, the intention to buy through social media, was
measured by three questions adapted from Lin et al. (2014). The measurement of intent to
engage with retail brands through social media is measured by three questions adapted from
Lin et al. (2014) and Yang (2010). The measurement of attitudes in involving with retail brands
through social media is by 3 questions adapted from Yang (2010). To measure usage
perception, the 3 questions were adapted from Venkatesh et al. (2003). Meanwhile, to measure
credibility, the researchers used questions adapted from Colliander and Dahlén (2011). The
measurement of enjoyment was adapted from Lin et al. (2014) which was measured by three
questions. For peer communication measurements adapted from Wang et al. (2012) which were

Media
1562 Interdisciplinary Social Studies, 2(1), Oct 2022
measured by four questions. And the last is the measurement of confirmation expectations
adapted from Wang et al. (2019).
SPSS is used to test validity using confirmatory factor analysis for validity tests, namely
by looking at the Kaiser-Msyer-Olkin measure of sampling (KMO) values and measures of
sampling adequacy anti image matrix correlation (MSA). In the validity test with the analysis
of variable factors perception of usability, compatibility, enjoyment, credibility on social
media, peer communication, sikap towards engagement with retail brands through social
media, intention to buy an item through social media, and expectation of confirmation of all
statements are declared valid, provided that the KMO and MSA (anti-image correlation) values
> 0.500 with 1 component matrix. Likewise, the reliability test of all variable statements is
declared reliable with the provision that the alpha cronbach > 0.6 (Sekaran and Bougie 2016).
Thus, after analyzing the pre-test results of 30 respondents, all statements were declared valid
and reliable to be used as questionnaires in this study, namely 29 questions.
Meanwhile, structural equation modeling (SEM) uses Lisrel 8.80 to test the proposed
model and hypothesis path.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
From the results of descriptive statistics, an overview of the sample of social media
behavior is obtained (see Table 1). Although these characteristics do not allow generalizing the
data to a broader population, the goal is to reach a sample of participants who use social media
and to examine their attitudes and intentions to engage with retail brands through social media.
It was found that 100 percent of respondents had used Facebook at least once. The vast majority
(87%) of respondents visited a facebook page less than equal to one (≤ 2) hours per week. All
respondents have visited or liked a retail brand's Facebook page at least once.

Lisrel 8.80 is used for single measurement models and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).
Prior to the CFA analysis, the measurement of the construct validity test in this study showed
that all indicators were acceptable / valid on all variables with a factor loading value (>0.50),
and a t-value greater than the t-table (1.96) at a significance level of 5%. While the construct
reliability test, it is said to meet the reliability requirements if the CR (Construct Reliability)
value is above 0.60 and the VE (Variance Extracted) value is above 0.50 (Hair et al., 2018).
The results of the scale reliability test from the measurement revealed that the contruk had met
the reliability requirements.
Based on the analysis of model suitability (table 2) from the first group to the seventh
group, all test results obtained a good match including Chi Square, ECVI, AIC and CAIC, Fit
Index. There are results in the form of close fit, namely RMSEA and in the form of marginal
fit, namely Critical N and Goodness of Fit. Thus, it is concluded that the match of the entire
model has met the requirements. All constructs undergo factor analysis. This procedure
illustrates that there is no single factor or common factor that accounts for most of the variance
in independent and dependent variables, this indicates that there is no bias problem in the data.

Structural tests are also carried out to be able to find out the value of R² in each equation
which serves to see how far the independent variable is able to explain the dependent variable.
Based on the SEM analysis, the results were obtained, namely the first, the attitude variable
towards engagement with retail brands through social media (AT) was influenced by the
variables Perception of Usability (PU), Compatibility (CO), Enjoyment (EN), Credibility (CR),
and Peer Communication (PC) with an R value of
2
of 0.92. Thus it can be interpreted that 92%
of the attitudes towards engagement with retail brands through social media (AT) can be
explained by Perception of Usability (PU), Compatibility (CO), Enjoyment (EN), Credibility
(CR), and Peer Communication (PC), while the remaining 8% is explained by other variables
outside the variables in the study.
The second analysis is that the Intention to engage with retail brands through social media
(IN) variable is influenced by the Attitude variable towards engagement with retail brands
through social media (AT) with an R2 value of 0.82. This can be interpreted to mean that 82%
of the intention to engage with retail brands through social media (IN) can be explained by the
variable Attitudes towards engagement with retail brands through social media (AT), while the
remaining 18% can be explained by other variables.
The third analysis is that the variable Intention to buy through social media (INP) is
influenced together by the variable Attitude towards engagement with retail brands through
social media (AT), Intention to engage with retail brands through social media (IN), and the
moderation role of Confirmation of expectations (ATEC) with an R2 value of 0.68. This can
be interpreted to mean that 68% of the variants of Intention to buy through social media (INP)
can be explained by the variable Attitude towards engagement with retail brands through social
media (AT), Intention to engage with retail brands through social media (IN), and the role of
moderation from Confirmation of expectations (ATEC) while the remaining 32% can be
explained by other variables outside this study.
The results of the study are as depicted in the T-Value diagram (see figure 2). The
hypothesis is accepted if the T-Value value>1.96 and not accepted if the T-Value<1.96. As
shown in Table 2, the results show H1, H2, H4, H5 and H9 have a value of t-value<1.96 so the
hypothesis is not supported. In addition, the results of the study also showed that H3, H6, H7,
and H8 had a t-value value of > 1.96 so that the hypothesis tested was supported by research
data (see table 3).

The data
supports the
hypothesis
The findings confirm three significant antecedent variables of attitudes that are indirectly
related to consumer engagement intentions with retail brands: peer enjoyment, credibility and
communication.
The results showed that pleasure is the most powerful positive antecedent of attitudes. This
suggests that a consumer's intention to engage with retail brands through social media increases
when he or she feels enjoyed using social media (Davis et al. 1992; Lin and Lu 2011). These
results support previous studies showing that people have a stronger motivation to use
technology if they feel intense pleasure while doing so (Lin and Lu 2011). These findings
suggest that enjoyment is important for attitudes towards social media use, this condition is
sufficient to generate a positive attitude towards engagement with retail brands through social
media.
Furthermore, the researchers discovered that credibility on social media (Facebook) was
found to be quite strongly related to the attitude to engage with retail brands through their
Facebook pages. These findings support previous research linking the credibility of social
media to consumer interactions with brands through social media (Eastlick, Lotz, and
Warrington 2006; Gefen et al. 2003; Pavlou and Fygenson 2006). However, in this study,
credibility negatively influenced attitudes to engage with retail brands through their Facebook
pages. We tried to deepen qualitatively, namely the data collected naturally (Tamaschke 1996)
to get the whole picture. The object of this study was 5 people who were office workers,
Facebook users and were willing to be interview objects according to the sampling
requirements according to Sugiyono (2017). From the interview results, it was found that all
subjects stated that they knew that the retail brand's facebook page had good credibility but
they had a reluctance to engage with the retail brand because they saw that the facebook page
was less attractive and unpleasant to follow. This is likely due to office workers in Indonesia
who only have little time to use Facebook, this makes the attitude to want to engage with the
social media of retail brands even smaller because of their priority in social media. These results
have influenced the measurement of social media credibility (Li and Zhang 2018). From these
arguments, it can be said that such credibility does not positively affect the attitude to engage
with the social media of retail brands.
The results showed that peer communication has a strong relationship with attitudes. These
results support previous research that has shown that peer communication has a strong impact
on attitudes towards shopping orientation (Lueg et al. 2006) and consumer decision making
(Smith et al. 2005). However, the results of this study show that consumers' intention to engage
with retail brands through social media is negatively influenced by peer communication. This
research was also carried out qualitatively, namely the collection of interview data naturally
(Tamaschke 1996), this was done to get a complete picture of the research object. Qualitative
interviews were conducted on 5 office workers who were Facebook users and were willing to
be interview objects according to the sampling requirements according to Sugiyono (2017).
From the interview results, it was found that all respondents admitted that they communicated
Factors Affecting Customer’s Behavior and Intention on Purchase Intention through Brand Retail’s Social
Media
1567 Interdisciplinary Social Studies, 2(1), Oct 2022
with their peers about the retail brand's Facebook page. The thing that is communicated with
peers is mostly negative content from the retail brand's facebook page because it is considered
interesting to talk about so it makes an attitude not to want to engage with the retail brand's
facebook page. The limited time for office workers to access social media is also a factor that
they only talk about interesting things so that it affects the attitude to engage with the retail
brand page so low.
Based on the research findings, the perception of usefulness has no significant effect on
attitudes. The influence of the perception of usability does not sufficiently support the
proposition of the TAM. Consistent with some previous studies (Bianchi and Andrews 2018;
Venkatesh et al. 2003), these findings suggest that the perception of the usefulness of retail
brand social media sites does not have a significant impact on the attitude of engaging with
retail brands through social media. Although consumers in Indonesia consider that the retail
brand facebook page is very helpful to them, it does not affect their attitude to engage with the
retail brand facebook page. This may happen because for office workers there are difficulties
and limited time to access social media during working hours. This is evidenced by the
extensive use of social media on a daily basis.
In this study, it was also found that compatibility did not have a significant effect on
attitudes. This shows that the compatibility of retail brand social media sites does not have a
significant impact on the attitude of engaging with retail brands through social media. This
unexpected finding implies that on the one hand, although the Facebook page of a retail brand
is considered by Indonesian consumers to be in accordance with their lifestyle and suits them,
it does not imply an attitude towards engagement with retail brands through social media. This
may also be due to limited time to access social media during working hours. The ineffection
of compatibility was also found in previous studies including the research of Ramdani et al.
(2009) which found compatibility to be an insignificant factor in the application of corporate
systems. In the same case Low et al. (2011) also found insignificant compatibility impacts in
cloud computing deployments.
The results of the study also found that consumers' attitudes to engage in retail brand social
media have a positive effect on the purchase intention of retail products. This is in accordance
with the theory of planned behavior (SDGs), which states purchase intentions are largely
determined by consumer attitudes (Bhattacherjee 2000; George 2004; Phau and Teah 2009).
This also supports previous research which stated that the more positive the attitude towards a
product, the higher the purchase intention will be (Bianchi and Andrews 2018; Chiu and Leng
2016). The results of the study also revealed that the attitude to engage with retail brands' social
media towards product purchase intentions has a greater direct effect value (1.02) than the
indirect effect value (0.36) through the mediation variable of the intention to engage with retail
brand social media. So that the attitude to get involved will tend to directly encourage
consumers' intention to buy products.
This study also confirms previous research on the topic of attitude relationships towards
intention to engage with retail brand facebook pages (Bianchi and Andrews 2018) namely
predicting attitudes and intentions to engage with retail brands through social media. The
findings reveal that consumers who have a more positive attitude towards engagement with
retail brands through social media, will tend to engage more with the retail brand's Facebook
page.
Factors Affecting Customer’s Behavior and Intention on Purchase Intention through Brand Retail’s Social
Media
1568 Interdisciplinary Social Studies, 2(1), Oct 2022
The study also revealed that the intention to engage with the social media pages of retail
brands positively affects consumers' buying intentions towards products through social media
pages. This is in accordance with the results of research by Bianchi & Andrews (2018). This
corroborates the literature of planned behaviour theory by proving that consumer attitudes
influence the purchase intention of retail brand products through social media.
Confirmation expectations are the perception that users' expectations match the reality of
using social media services. If individual expectations match the actual performance of social
media services, it will increase user confidence increasing purchase intentions (Wang et al.
2019). Consumers form satisfaction, or influence, based on their level of confirmation and
expectations on which their confirmation is based (Bhattacherjee 2001). Bhattacherjee (2001)
also revealed that confirmation expectations are cognitive beliefs (the degree to which user
expectations of system use are realized during actual use) derived from previous uses. It affects
subsequent use through satisfaction and the construction of intentions. The intention will
always change from the initial acceptance to the next or not (Bhattacherjee 2001). Thestudy
showed an insignificant influence on the variability of confirmation expectations moderating
consumer attitudes towards purchase intentions towards retail products. We also conducted
qualitative deepening by collecting data naturally (Tamaschke 1996) to obtain a complete
picture of respondents' answers. This qualitative research was conducted on 5 office workers
who are Facebook users and are willing to be interview objects according to sampling
requirements according to Sugiyono (2017). The interview results stated that respondents were
right to have confirmed expectations for the retail brand's facebook page but that did not make
them want to buy back similar or other products beca use they would see their needs according
to their priorities. They also stated that their expectations could also change over the
assessments made during their use of the products they purchased. And the results of qualitative
interviews also found that Most of their confirmation expectations dropped in line with the use
that caused discontent. This shows that even though expectations are confirmed, it does not
necessarily affect the attitude of consumers to buy products through the retail brand's Facebook
page. This is in accordance with the research.
CONCLUSION
In general, the results of this study suggest that the suitability or suitability of social media
pages may no longer be of interest to consumers. Therefore, to ensure consumer engagement
and long-term purchasing behavior requires strategies that emphasize visitor enjoyment,
providing engaging and appropriate content, as well as positive social relationships between
users within the retail brand's Facebook social media pages. Overall, the findings of this study
contribute to the growth of knowledge about consumer engagement on social media platforms
and provide theoretical and managerial implications that may help scholars and practitioners
in the future.
This study has some limitations, the first, the hnaya sample involves consumers who work
in the office because they are considered potential online shoppers. In developing countries,
such as Indonesia, the demographic segment of office workers tends to have access to digital
technology. Therefore, they can provide more relevant information for research, thereby
addressing challenges in reliable data collection for the retail market. New researchers can
conduct similar studies using samples taken from more populations or on other demographic

Media

segments. Second, the study focused on only one social media site: Facebook. Although
Facebook is the world's leading social media site, subsequent studies should consider other
social media sites where retail companies and brands are also present there, such as YouTube,
Twitter and Instagram, to gain a broader understanding of consumer-brand engagement
through social media.
