Is nature relatedness a basic human psychological need? A critical examination of the extant literature.

It is widely recognised that a better understanding of social media and its implications is essential for formulating effective branding strategies in evolving Computer-Mediated Marketing Environments (CMMES). However, few studies have examined how social media influences brand image in the luxury sector. The current study intends to examine whether increased exposure through social media influences brand image in technologically infused marketing environments. Drawing on extant literature from various perspectives (in areas such as marketing, information management, and communications studies), this chapter examines exposure to social media and how this influences consumer perceptions of luxury fashion brands. The current analysis develops a critical examination of social media and the perceived prevalence on brand image by elucidating overwhelming perspectives in the evolving technological marketing environments.

Practical Implications

The job demands-resources (JD-R) model provides a well-validated account of how job resources and job demands influence work engagement, burnout, and their constituent dimensions. The present study aimed to extend previous research by including challenge demands not widely examined in the context of the JD-R. Furthermore, and extending self-determination theory, the research also aimed to investigate the potential mediating effects that employees’ need satisfaction as regards their need for autonomy, need for belongingness, need for competence, and need for achievement, as components of a higher order needs construct, may have on the relationships between job demands and engagement. Structural equations modeling across two independent samples generally supported the proposed relationships. Further research opportunities, practical implications, and study limitations are discussed.
