Tóm tắt:
Mục tiêu nghiên cứu: Nghiên cứu này nhằm khám phá tác động của truyền thông mạng xã hội (TTMXH) và truyền miệng điện tử tích cực (EWOM) đối với ý định mua hàng (YĐMH) của người tiêu dùng thông qua việc tích hợp mô hình Kích thích - Chủ thể - Phản ứng (S-O-R) và lý thuyết Sử dụng và hài lòng (UGT).
Thiết kế nghiên cứu/phương pháp/tiếp cận: Nghiên cứu sử dụng phương pháp định lượng với dữ liệu được thu thập thông qua khảo sát trực tuyến bằng bảng câu hỏi cấu trúc. Với phương pháp chọn mẫu thuận tiện, nghiên cứu đã thu thập được 216 phản hồi hợp lệ. Mô hình nghiên cứu được kiểm định bằng phương pháp PLS-SEM thông qua phần mềm SmartPLS.
Kết quả nghiên cứu chính: Kết quả phân tích cho thấy cả TTMXH và EWOM đều có tác động thuận chiều đáng kể đến nhận thức thương hiệu (NTTH) và YĐMH. Đặc biệt, NTTH đóng vai trò trung gian, giúp truyền dẫn các tác động sâu sắc từ những yếu tố TTMXH và EWOM đến YĐMH.
Giá trị đóng góp mới: Nghiên cứu đóng góp vào hệ thống lý thuyết bằng cách kết hợp thành công mô hình S-O-R và lý thuyết UGT để giải thích cơ chế tâm lý của người tiêu dùng trong kỷ nguyên số.

Abstract:
Purpose: This study aims to explore the impact of social media marketing and positive electronic word-of-mouth (EWOM) on consumers' purchase intentions by integrating the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) model and the Uses and Gratifications Theory (UGT).
Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative methodology was employed, with data collected via structured online questionnaires. Using a convenience sampling method, the study obtained 216 valid responses. The research model was tested using PLS-SEM via SmartPLS software.
Findings: The results indicate that both social media marketing and positive EWOM have a significant positive impact on brand awareness and purchase intention. Moreover, brand awareness plays a mediating role, facilitating the transmission of effects from marketing activities and community reviews to product purchase intentions.
Originality/value: The study contributes to the theoretical framework by successfully integrating the S-O-R model and UGT to explain consumers' psychological mechanisms in the digital era.
