description Using signaling theory, this study unpacked the mechanisms through which online review information quality and reviewer information credibility influence online review helpfulness, in e-commerce context. Conducting a survey with users in Danang having read online reviews on Shopee.vn, 244 valid responses were used to evaluate the research model via PLS-SEM software. The study found that the information quality of online reviews strongly influences the helpfulness of online reviews compared to the information credibility of previous reviewers. Additionally, priced goods have a moderating effect on the relationship between online information credibility and online reviews helpfulness; and that relationship will be significant in high-priced products. This study makes a theoretical contribution to online reviews by elucidating the mechanisms of impact of review/reviewer information on reviews helpfulness and the moderating effect of product prices.
