Based on social identification and narcissism, this study proposed that social media users with different levels of social identification and narcissism will demonstrate different behaviors on the Facebook fan page, namely customer participation behavior and customer citizenship behavior, and that these behaviors will affect their brand engagement indirectly. Customer participation behavior includes information seeking, information sharing, responsible behavior, and personal interaction, whereas customer citizenship behavior comprises feedback, advocacy, helping, and tolerance. The subjects are social media users of the top 10 mobile phone brands in Taiwan, and they have joined the Facebook fan page of the mobile phone brand.
