Abstract:
This independent study examines Generation Zs accommodation booking behavior on TikTok and the effects of review sources and content on their booking intentions. The sample comprised 408 Thai Generation Z TikTok users who completed an online questionnaire through convenience sampling. The research instrument was validated by experts, with 95.12% of the items attaining an Item-Objective Congruence (IOC) index of 0.5 or higher. The questionnaire demonstrated high reliability, with Cronbachs Alpha values exceeding 0.70 across all variables. Descriptive statistics were employed to describe the general characteristics of the sample, while Pearsons correlation and multiple regression analyses were used to examine relationships among variables and to test the hypotheses. The results revealed that informational and entertaining content, together with reviews from micro-influencers, significantly influenced Generation Zs trust and booking intentions. The regression model accounted for approximately 36 percent of the variance in booking intention, and no multicollinearity issues were observed. These findings provide a reliable and valid assessment of Generation Zs accommodation booking behavior on TikTok.
