This study investigates the mechanisms behind consumer engagement in social media influencer marketing using self-determination theory and a stimulus-organism-response framework. Analyzing data from 522 participants, the findings reveal that while influencers generate initial online traffic, their impact on deeper engagement is limited. Higher-level engagement is driven by the quality of advertisement information and interpersonal factors, emphasizing the importance of content and social influence.
