Sosyal medya platformlarındaki kullanıcı sayısının artması ve tüketicilerin günlük yaşamlarında bu platformlarda geçirdikleri sürenin çoğalmasıyla birlikte, sosyal medya işletmeler için merkezi bir faaliyet alanı haline gelmiştir. Bu doğrultuda, sosyal medya aracılığıyla yürütülen faaliyetlerin akademik açıdan incelenmesi de önem kazanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, bilginin kalitesi, bilginin güvenilirliği ve web sitesi kalitesinin tüketicilerin e-WOM (elektronik ağızdan ağıza iletişim) katılımı üzerindeki etkilerini ve e-WOM katılımının satın alma niyeti üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktır. Veriler, kolayda örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak çevrim içi anket yoluyla 482 katılımcıdan toplanmıştır. Örneklem, yaş, eğitim ve istihdam durumu açısından çeşitli gruplardan yetişkin bireylerden oluşmaktadır. Toplanan veriler keşifsel ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri, güvenilirlik testleri ve yapısal eşitlik modellemesi ile analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, bilginin kalitesinin e-WOM katılımı üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğunu ve e-WOM katılımının da satın alma niyetini anlamlı şekilde etkilediğini ortaya koymuştur. Ancak, bilginin güvenilirliği ve web sitesi kalitesinin e-WOM katılımı üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir etkisinin bulunmadığı tespit edilmiştir.
