Social media influencers have increasingly become a focal point of investigation in digital marketing research, as they are recognized as influential tools for shaping consumer behaviors. This paper sought to address how TikTok, a rapidly growing social media platform, that academic research has not explored thoroughly, has impacted the perceived traits and image of these influencers. More precisely, this study investigates how influencer’s characteristics and psychological-related influential factors impact purchase intentions of consumers. This study seeks to investigate how attitude homophily along the perceived fit quality between a product and influencer, foster parasocial interactions and shape perceived source credibility. In turn, it investigates how these factors impact consumer purchasing intentions. The research was conducted in June 2024 and involves 318 participants that reside in Greece. Data were collected through the distributions of a self-administered questionnaire. The analysis was conducted in SPSS, for demographic data analysis, and R for Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Results indicated that attitude homophily and product-influencer fit positively affected both perceived credibility and parasocial relationship. Moreover, credibility and PSR both translated into a positive consumer purchase intention. Attitude homophily and product-influencer fit had indirect effects on purchase intention only when mediated by parasocial relationship. Understanding the dynamics the findings revealed, are beneficial for content creators, marketers and brands to enhance their digital marketing strategies and comprehend consumer behavior in TikTok.
