Abstract

Effectively designed websites can positively enhance the donors' perceptions to facilitate online donation. Drawing on self-schema congruity theory, this study examines the impact of self-schema congruity (SC) in the context of charity website design. This study hypothesises that SC increases perceived social presence, perceived appeal relevance, and intention to use a charity website for donation purposes. We further hypothesise that perceived social presence and perceived appeal relevance increase intention to use. To validate SC and test the research hypotheses, we conducted two experiments. The results of structural equation modelling support our hypotheses. Several theoretical and practical contributions are discussed.
