Abstract

Generation Z consumers are low loyalty characterized. They often collect detailed information on UGC’s APP or website. The study demonstrates that UGC content can influence Gen Z purchasing decisions and can lead to consumer loyalty to the app. This study uses community interaction and community identification to explore the impact on customer loyalty and uses variables such as the community climate that Gen Z cares about, perceived UGC quality, and online word of mouth as the antecedent variables that affect community interaction. The research data was collected from 364 Gen Z respondents from the Guangzhou Higher Education Super Center and analyzed using structural equation modeling. It turns out that supportive climate (β = 0.25, p < 0.001), controlling climate (β = 0.18, p < 0.001), and perceived UGC quality (β = 0.44, p < 0.001) had positive effects on community interaction. Community interaction (β = 0.78, p < 0.001) affects community identification, and community identification (β = 0.82, p < 0.001) affects customer loyalty. However, community interaction is not affected by online word of mouth (β = 0.17, p > 0.05).
