The participants included 214 Shopee users interested in beauty products serving as the unit of analysis. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS version 23.Result: The findings indicate that source credibility positively and significantly impacts e-WOM, establishing it as an antecedent factor.
