Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the key factors that influence consumer trust and engagement with virtual influencers (VIs) through a systematic literature review. Research Design & Methods: This study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by examining reputable international journal articles published between 2019 and 2025, focusing on authenticity, transparency, anthropomorphism, and cultural and generational context. Findings: The results show that consistent digital authenticity, balanced disclosure, appropriate human-likeness, and cultural tailoring are the main determinants of VI effectiveness. Risks such as the uncanny valley and consumer skepticism can be minimized with a coherent and transparent digital identity strategy. Implications & Recommendations: Brands need to balance aesthetics and transparency, tailor VI design to demographic and cultural preferences, and ensure narrative coherence to build sustainable engagement. Contribution & Value Added: This study provides a comprehensive conceptual framework on the role of authenticity, disclosure, anthropomorphism, and cross-cultural factors in shaping consumer trust, and offers practical insights for brands in optimizing VI-based marketing strategies.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to develop an interpretive understanding of how human-likeness and transparency in corporate brand communication jointly shape brand engagement within cross-cultural multinational contexts. Specifically, it examines how human-like communication and perceived transparency influence trust formation, emotional closeness, and consumer behavioral engagement across different cultural settings. Research Design & Methods: Adopting an interpretive qualitative research design, this study draws on in-depth semi-structured interviews with corporate communication managers from six multinational companies and consumers from five countries (the United States, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and Indonesia). The data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis to uncover recurring meaning structures that explain how human-likeness and transparency are interpreted and enacted across cultural contexts. Findings: The findings reveal that human-likeness functions as a relational mechanism that fosters emotional closeness through empathy, warmth, and personalized communication, while transparency operates as a culturally situated signal of integrity that builds trust through perceived consistency between corporate values and actions. Importantly, the study shows that authentic brand engagement emerges from the interaction between human-likeness and transparency, rather than from either dimension alone. This interaction manifests differently across collectivist and individualist cultures, shaping consumer participation, advocacy, and loyalty in distinct ways. Implications & Recommendations: The findings position human-likeness and transparency as interrelated dimensions of corporate humanization that enhance brand engagement beyond transactional approaches. For multinational companies, culturally adaptive human-like communication and responsible transparency are essential to building trust, reducing skepticism, and fostering ethically grounded corporate–consumer relationships. Contribution & Value Added: By offering an integrative conceptual framework that links human-likeness and transparency to authentic brand engagement in cross-cultural contexts, this research provides novel interpretive insights and enriches the literature on global branding, corporate humanization, and cross-cultural marketing communication.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to systematically review andmap the evolution of green consumer behavior in the digital age byintegrating perspectives on sustainability, marketing, and information technology.This study seeks to identify the main themes, theoretical approaches, andnew research trends that shape the transformation of sustainable consumption behaviorin the digital context. Research Design & Methods: This study applied a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach based on the PRISMA 2020 protocol. Data search was conducted through the Scopus database for the period 2010–2025 in the fields of Business, Management, and Accounting. Of the total 2,804 documents identified, 124 articles met the initial synthesis stage, and 36 final articles were analyzed qualitatively using thematic clustering to identify conceptual patterns related to digital engagement, green marketing strategies, and ethical consumption behavior. Findings: The results identified four main clusters: (1) Green Trust and Digital Authenticity, which highlights the importance of transparency and credibility in sustainability communication; (2) AI, Personalization, and Sustainable Engagement, which emphasizes the role of algorithms and artificial intelligence in environmentally friendly decisions; (3) Digital Influencers and Green Socialization, which explains the influence of social media on pro-environmental identities; and (4) Ethical Consumption and Green Identity, which focuses on the moral and symbolic dimensions of sustainability. The analysis also shows a methodological shift towards data-driven sustainability and a cross-cultural approach in understanding digital green consumer behavior. Implications & Recommendations: These findings provide strategic insights for policymakers and practitioners to design an ethical digital marketing framework, promote algorithmic transparency, and strengthen sustainability-oriented digital literacy. Further research is recommended using longitudinal and cross-cultural approaches to explore the dimensions of digital ethics, trust in AI, and emotional relationships in the formation of consumer green identity. Contribution & Value Added: This article contributes to integrating behavioral, technological, and ethical theories in explaining the evolution of green consumer behavior. Theoretically, this research expands understanding by linking the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) with digital-era constructs such as AI-based trust and authentic sustainability communication.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to synthesize and map the development of the literature on AI-driven hyper-personalization in digital marketing, as well as to identify the intellectual framework, key research themes, and directions for future research. Research Design & Methods: This study employs a systematic literature review approach combined with bibliometric analysis. Relevant scientific articles were collected from international academic databases and analyzed using VOSviewer software to map relationships between keywords, research cluster structures, and topic development patterns in the literature. This approach enables the identification of conceptual relationships between artificial intelligence technology and the implementation of hyper-personalization in digital marketing strategies. Findings: The analysis results indicate that research on hyper-personalization is rapidly evolving and focuses on the integration of artificial intelligence, machine learning, customer data analytics, and customer experience-based marketing strategies. Keyword network visualizations indicate that artificial intelligence serves as the primary infrastructure enabling the development of more adaptive, data-driven personalization systems. Additionally, the literature emphasizes the importance of relational factors such as consumer trust, customer experience, and data privacy in determining the effectiveness of hyper-personalization implementation. Implications & Recommendations: The findings of this study underscore the importance of developing integrated data infrastructure, artificial intelligence-based analytical capabilities, and transparent data governance to support the implementation of effective hyper-personalization strategies. Future research is encouraged to develop empirical models that integrate AI capabilities, customer data integration, and relational outcomes such as engagement, trust, and loyalty. Contribution & Value Added: This study provides a comprehensive literature synthesis on AI-based hyper-personalization and offers an integrative conceptual framework linking artificial intelligence technology, data-driven marketing strategies, and customer experience in digital marketing.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to conduct a systematic review of the literature on digital well-being, focusing on the paradigm shift from merely reducing screen time to achieving profound eudaimonic consumer outcomes. This study investigates how the paradoxical effects of digital connectivity can be managed and transformed into a strategic asset for organizations in building brand equity and long-term loyalty. Research Design & Methods: Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) protocol guided by the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework, an analysis was conducted on 84 scientific publications from Q1-ranked journals from 2018 to 2026. The selection process included identifying central themes, conducting qualitative content analysis, and synthesizing data on digital well-being interventions, consumer behavior, and transformative marketing strategies. Findings: The research findings reveal the existence of a “Technology and Consumer Well-being Paradox Model,” in which connectivity acts as a double-edged sword: it facilitates autonomy and personal growth while simultaneously triggering technostress and cognitive load. It was found that the current market is dominated by strategies of “individual responsabilization” through digital self-control tools; however, there are strategic opportunities for brands to integrate digital well-being into their value propositions to enhance trust and meaningful engagement, particularly through “eudaimonic entertainment” and corporate digital responsibility. Implications & Recommendations: Organizations are advised to adopt empathetic digital designs that prioritize the quality of interactions over the quantity of attention. Recommendations include aligning communication strategies with “right to disconnect” regulations and leveraging AI for personalization that supports users’ mental health. Contribution & Value Added: This study makes a theoretical contribution by conceptualizing digital well-being as a strategic asset within the Transformative Consumer Research (TCR) framework, offering a new perspective that holistically aligns business profitability with human well-being.
