Does Life Satisfaction influence the intention (We-Intention) to use Facebook?

Abstract

We evaluated Life Satisfaction and three factors of social influence.Life Satisfaction improves the effects of social influence factors.Results reinforce that psychological needs motivate human behavior.The psychological needs are more important than the sociological needs to use SNS.Individuals are more concerned with interconnectivity and entertainment factors. Several studies have investigated a variety of factors affecting use of social networking sites (SNSs), but the investigation of these factors is still under development. In this study, we aim to contribute to the literature by extending and testing an existent conceptual model in a new context, including Life Satisfaction as an independent variable to explain the intention (We-Intention) to use Facebook. The previous models has Subjective Norm, Group Norms, Social Identity, Purposive Value, Self-Discovery, Maintaining Interpersonal Interconnectivity, Social Enhancement, Entertainment Value and Social Presence as the predictor variables. An online survey with Brazilians (n=1111) was conducted. Our structural equation modeling reveals that Life Satisfaction influence on We-Intention is mediated by Subjective Norm, Group Norm, Social Identity, Entertainment Value, and Maintaining Interpersonal Interconnectivity (R-squared value is 0.36). Our findings, while consistent with existing literature in terms of theories, reveal different arrangements among factors influencing Brazilian consumers' behavior.
