Abstract/Index

Literature review and hypothesis. Influencer number of followers: micro vs macro and source credibility. Micro-influencers, compared to macro-influencers, will report a higher score on credibility. Influencer sponsored posts: endorsement style and source credibility. The endorsement style moderates the relationship between followers and perceived credibility: specifically, explicit (vs implicit) endorsement enhances perceived credibility when the message is shared by a micro-influencer. Implicit (vs explicit) endorsement style enhances perceived credibility when the message is shared by a macro-influencer. Source credibility and purchase intention. Source credibility mediates the relationship between follower and purchase intention: specifically, a sponsored Instagram post shared by a micro-influencer (vs macro) increases perceived credibily, which consequently increases the consumer's purchase intention. Conceptual model. Method. Pretest. Results. Discussion. Theoretical implications. Managerial implications.
