However, very little research examining the role of emoticons in a commercial relationship provide straight findings. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and better understand the impact and influence of the use of emoji by the brand between customers and e-retailers, and its reciprocity between the two entities. It intends to understand this impact on social presence and online communication, as well as on customer satisfaction, brand perception and word-of-mouth communication and comprehend if trust mediates the relationship between these components in an online environment. Through a conclusive experiment, findings provide evidence that emojis mostly increase customers’ satisfaction and perception towards the brand. Furthermore, this research contributes to filling the gap regarding the impact of the use of emojis by the brand as well as the reciprocity on their use, offering a more comprehensive framework.Rita, Paulo Miguel Rasquinho FerreiraSzabó-Douat, TeodóraRUNSantos, Raquel Lopes Tonico dos2021-11-232024-11-23T00:00:00Z2021-11-23T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/128903TID:202809692enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T05:08:14Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/128903Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:46:25.392874Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
