Abstract:

Based on the ability-motivation-opportunity (AMO) theory, the mechanism of ambidextrous innovation motivation of brand community members were studied using structural equation modeling. The moderating role of community commitment to the innovation processes was explored. It was found that (1) brand knowledge positively influences the exploitative innovation, while social capital has a positive impact on exploratory innovation; (2) the community innovation opportunity partially mediates the negative influence of members' brand knowledge on exploitative innovation and positive influences of members' social capital on exploratory innovation; (3)member's community commitment negatively moderates the influence of community innovation opportunities to the exploitative innovation.

Key words: brand community, ambidextrous innovation, brand knowledge, social capital, community commitment, AMO model
