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