Abstract

The mobile e-commerce webcast has great commercial value through the way of live streaming to sell products, place advertisements, and create an ecosystem in conjunction with other industries to make capital available. Based on the stimuli-organism-response (SOR) model, in a sample of 393 consumers in China, multiple regression analysis and bootstrap are used to estimate the influences of the characteristics of opinion leaders on consumer purchase intention in the context of mobile e-commerce webcast. The results show that the characteristics of opinion leaders exert a significant positive influence on consumer purchase intention and flow experience; flow experience has a significant positive influence on consumer purchase intention; and flow experience has partial mediating effects between the characteristics of opinion leaders and consumer purchase intention. The findings provide support for the research model. Furthermore, practical implications are provided for long-term development of mobile e-commerce live operators.
