The present study investigated the dimensionality of satisfaction and dissatisfaction as well as evaluated the effects of social commerce characteristics on satisfaction and dissatisfaction. The conceptual framework of the study was built on Herzberg's motivation-hygiene Theory and the Kano Model. We gathered 519 data by social commerce users through an online survey and used SPSS 20.0 for the analysis. The findings showed that satisfaction and dissatisfaction are two distinct constructs; in addition, nine characteristics of social commerce were derived from factor analysis. Among the nine factors of social commerce characteristics, diversity had a positive influence only on satisfaction and uncertainty had only a positive impact on dissatisfaction; however, price discount, product quality and transaction safety, influenced both satisfaction and dissatisfaction. There were several factors that had no significant influence on both satisfaction and dissatisfaction. The findings of the study support Herzberg's motivation-hygiene Theory and the Kano Model. The present study helps social commerce managers establish a plan to maximize factors that influence consumer satisfaction and minimize the factor influencing dissatisfaction.
