Exploring the Effectiveness of Native Advertising on Social Media: The Role of Message Execution Style and Dispositional Persuasion Knowledge

초록

Guided by the persuasion knowledge model (PKM), this research investigates how the message executional style (informational vs. narrative) of native ads, in conjunction with consumer’s dispositional persuasion knowledge (high vs. low), influences consumer responses towards native advertising on social media. Based on the experimental study results, it was found that consumers with high persuasion knowledge (PK) perceived informational message as less manipulative than narrative message. Furthermore, these consumers demonstrated a higher intention to share the informational messages as well. However, the study did not find a significant difference between informational and narrative messages among consumers with low PK in terms of perceptions of manipulativeness and intention to share. Additionally, the perceived manipulativeness of the advertisements acted as a mediator in the relationship between message execution style and intention to share for consumers with high PK. The theoretical and practical implications were discussed.
