Abstract

Analysing user-generated content is crucial for banks to develop their strategies. This study thus explores the message characteristics of user tweets and bank tweets being retweeted by users, differences between public and private banks, and impact on the electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) behaviour of users. User tweets from seven banks and bank tweets from nine banks in Thailand are collected. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U, and hierarchical multiple regression are employed. There are differences in message content in terms of place-related, promotion-related, and responsiveness-related content mentioned between private banks' user tweets and public banks' user tweets. Hashtags and price-related content drive eWOM. The results reveal the difference between public-bank and private-bank users in their communications with banks and guide public and private banks' marketers in their social media strategies. This study offers insights into user perceptions of Thai banks through X (previously called Twitter).
