This study analyses effect of eWOM dimensions on customer's purchasing intention via online community on platform of social networks. This research is descriptive-survey type and data were collected from a sample of 380 Iranian respondents of LG products using online questionnaire. SPSS and Smart PLS software packs were utilised for analysis. The results showed that eWOM behaviour, strong and weak social ties/communications of eWOM and informative dimensions were the main factors for occurrence of eWOM behaviours in online purchase. Also, the given results indicated that perceived quality might also impact e-trust showing improvement of customer's satisfaction. The performance of main features in social networks (trust and high quality) can improve eWOM activities in social networks, but characteristics of normative influence only helps to improvement of relations among e-trust with perceived quality.
