在現今Web2.0盛行的時代,像微博這類的新興媒體出現,提供了不少溝通機會,讓粉絲們能和名人進行互動交流,聯絡情感,成為和名人接觸的管道之一。新浪微博中人氣關注前10名多以娛樂明星為主,其中姚晨和小S的粉絲數已突破2000萬人,可見粉絲們常會用名人微博來關注他們喜愛名人的最新動態。 而過去有關粉絲與名人互動的相關研究,多半不是以擬社會互動觀點來看其與品牌間的關係,就是針對虛擬社群中信任建立後對持續購買意願的影響,少有進一步將信任與擬社會互動、社會臨場感等因素作結合來一起討論。因而本研究希望找出影響粉絲與名人間信任關係之因素有哪些,並進一步瞭解在如名人微博這種電腦中介環境中之擬社會互動、社會臨場感與信任間的關係,給予業者行銷實務建議。 本研究透過網路問卷調查法進行,以有使用過微博的使用者為研究對象,共回收427份有效問卷,之後再以階層迴歸分析來探討「信任信念」、「情緒感知」、「擬社會互動」及「社會臨場感」對粉絲與名人間信任意圖的影響。研究結果發現:(1)在「提供資訊」之信任意圖部分,「社會臨場感」為最有影響力的預測指標,其餘像「結構性保證」、「信任傾向」、「感知回覆-期望」也皆能有正向預測力,反倒是「感知回覆-現實」與「提供資訊」間為負向影響;(2)在信任意圖中的「聽從建議」部分,「能力/正直」、「善心」、「結構性保證」、「感知回覆-期望」及「社會臨場感」都能正向的預測粉絲願意聽從名人建議的行為,其中又以社會臨場感的預測力最高;(3)「善心」是「依賴意願」之信任意圖部分的最有效預測指標,另外像「結構性保證」、「熟悉度-間接」、「感知回覆-期望」與「社會臨場感」也都為影響依賴意願的重要因素。整體結果來說,社會臨場感在像微博這類網站中占有很重要的影響力,未來業者在挑選名人代言時,可選擇名人本身常在網路平台上與粉絲有良好互動者來幫忙宣傳,透過名人與粉絲建立起的親密關係,更能讓消費者對產品產生認同,提升行銷效果。
