Abstract
Online brand communities have developed in Indonesia and are being adopted by many companies to build customer loyalty. This research aims to dissect the phenomenon of value co-creation activities that occur in the online brand community, namely the Indonesian Polygon Bicycle Community (KSPI). KSPI is a popular community in Indonesia and its members are Polygon bicycle users. KSPI members interact via social media using the Facebook group. In this research, the evaluation of the research model uses the Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis tool. The findings from 174 respondents explained that the existence of value co-creation practices such as social networking, impression management, community engagement and brand use had a positive effect on several perceived benefit variables. Other findings also explain that three of the four perceived benefit variables have a positive effect on members' brand community commitment, including social benefits, self-esteem benefits and hedonic benefits. Brand community commitment has a positive effect on brand loyalty.
