Applying a multi-dimensional hedonic concept of intrinsic motivation on social tagging tools: A theoretical model and empirical validation

作者：

Highlights：

• In this paper, we add a richer concept of intrinsic motivation to include hedonism as a main predictor of users’ behavior on social tagging tools.

• We empirically validate three-dimensional concepts of hedonism with three components describing individuals’ hedonic state when interacting with social tagging tools: explorability, curiosity, and enjoyment.

• After a robust and thorough data analysis using Chi-Square, and structured equation modeling, the results suggest using a richer shade of enjoyment to reflect the hedonic dimension when investigating intrinsic motivation in social media tools.

• Our validated model could be the spark of new factors that could impact users’ acceptance of social media tools.
