Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether perceived benefit of Facebook has a direct effect on consumers' intention to reserve a homestay in Sabah. The theoretical framework of this study is derived from a combination of previous research framework with modifications. This study implemented a personal administered and electronic questionnaire. A total of 258 sets usable questionnaires out of 400 sets were collected. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used to test the conceptual model. The results indicated that the perceived benefit of Facebook such as functional benefit, social benefit, hedonic benefit and monetary benefit do have a positive relation with consumers' intention to make a homestay reservation. However, psychological benefit was found to have negative relationship with consumers' intention to make a homestay reservation.
