Determinants of consumers' attitudes toward mobile advertising: The mediating roles of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations

Mobile advertising is booming, due to the popularity of mobile devices. Drawing on motivation theory, this study examines the factors that influence consumers' attitudes toward mobile advertising. The authors identify timeliness, localization, and personalization of the advertisement message as antecedents of extrinsic motivation, as well as consumer innovativeness and perceived enjoyment as antecedents of intrinsic motivation. Using structural equation modeling, the study analyzes the conceptual model with a sample of 218 mobile phone users. Both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations mediate the effects of the advertising message's characteristics on mobile phone users' attitudes toward mobile advertising. Extrinsic motivation factors are timeliness, localization and personalization.Intrinsic motivation factors are consumer innovativeness and perceived enjoyment.Both intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation have mediate effects.
