Abstract
Online review as a form of electronic word-of-mouth (EWOM) has been proven to motivate consumers to shop through online marketplace platforms in Indonesia, although some of the platforms have not yet provided a feature to filter relevant, latest, accurate, or complete information in the review. This study aims to analyze the influence of the information quality dimensions of EWOM on consumer behavior in purchasing products in the online marketplace. This study uses a quantitative approach by surveying 1,266 online marketplace users in Indonesia who have purchased products and read the reviews in the last three months. The data were processed in AMOS 24 by using the covariance-based structural equation modeling method. The results prove that all the hypotheses of this study were successfully accepted. The results show that the four dimensions of EWOM information quality, namely relevance, timeliness, accuracy, and comprehensiveness significantly influence information quality. After that, information quality significantly influences social psychological distance and trust. Then, social psychological distance significantly influences trust and mediates the relationship between information quality and trust. Furthermore, trust significantly influences purchase intention. Finally, purchase intention significantly influences purchase decision. The results of this research can present insight to assist online marketplace service providers in developing better online review features.
