520 $a The current study examines Facebook users' motivations, activities, and outcomes for their participation/engagement on Facebook brand community pages with a mixed methods research design of in-depth interviews and a paper-based survey.
520 $a As a result, this study found that users were not very much connected to the Facebook brand communities of which they were a part. Users tended not to consider themselves as dedicated members and generally showed a passive interest in these brand pages. They also participated inactively and did not commit heavily to these pages. In contrast, most users recognized Facebook as a suitable (or enjoyable) space for communication and social interaction with friends, but did not perceive a brand as a real "friend" on Facebook. Thus, Facebook is not a hospitable place for maintaining online brand communities because Facebook brand pages manifest a weaker form of community compared to what traditional online brand communities embody.
520 $a Nevertheless, some user engagement (or participation) still happens on Facebook brand pages. Users were found to perform four types of activities when participating: contributing to brand communities, endorsing brand communities, consuming brand posts, and consuming user posts. Additionally, users were effectively driven to participate by Socially-oriented Motivation, Brand-oriented Motivation, Self-oriented Motivation, Hedonic Motivation, Utilitarian Motivation, and Friends' Recommendation Motivation. Moreover, some significant linear relationships have been observed among users' participation motivations, activities, and outcomes, which provided a foundation for understanding their passive participation in Facebook brand communities and for optimizing Facebook marketing strategy in the future.
