Social media marketing activities, perceived innovativeness, and perceived enjoyment: Predicting the consumers’ intention to purchase Muslim apparel through TikTok live

Abstract

This study examines the factors influencing Muslim consumers' purchase intentions for Muslim apparel products through TikTok live streaming. Data were collected in Jakarta, with 225 participants selected using convenient sampling. The collected data underwent analysis using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modelling. The results revealed several key findings. Firstly, the hypothesis that TikTok marketing activities significantly influence perceived innovativeness was supported. Additionally, it was found that TikTok marketing activities significantly affect perceived enjoyment. However, the hypothesis that perceived innovativeness significantly impacts purchase intention was rejected. Furthermore, it was established that perceived innovativeness significantly influences perceived enjoyment, and perceived enjoyment significantly affects purchase intention. These findings contribute to expanding knowledge in social commerce, particularly in understanding the dynamics of consumer behavior within the context of Muslim apparel products marketed through TikTok live streaming. The acceptance of hypotheses regarding the influence of TikTok marketing activities on perceived innovativeness and enjoyment underscores the importance of social media marketing strategies in shaping consumer perceptions and experiences. However, rejecting the hypothesis concerning the direct impact of perceived innovativeness on purchase intention suggests that other factors may mediate this relationship, warranting further investigation.
