Abstract

Although online brand community (OBC) literature grows, the majority of the studies are examining gender differences in communities of products that are consumed disproportionately by males. In continuation of Soylemez (2021a); this study utilized ELM and equity theory and investigated how gender and product involvement influence the relative contribution of brand-oriented content and community-oriented content. Findings suggest that members of high-involvement product communities generate more brand-oriented content than community-oriented content, whereas members of low-involvement product communities generate more community-oriented content than brand-oriented content. A significant gender-product involvement interaction exists.
