Factors influence user’s intention to continue use of e-banking during COVID-19 pandemic: the nexus between self-determination and expectation confirmation model

Abstract

PurposeInternet banking services are proven to be much advantageous and convenient during COVID-19 pandemic. However, vibrant networking designs and dynamic changes in software development have made these services bit complex. Thus, the current study seeks to investigate Internet banking user continuance intention with factors underpinning self-determination theory (SDT) and expectation confirmation model (ECM) theory. The moderating role of image is studied between user intention to continue use of Internet banking and intention to recommend Internet banking service in social networks during COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachThe quantitative research approach is applied and data collected through a research survey. For inferential analysis, 360 responses were collected from active Internet banking users. The integrated information system model was empirically tested using structural equation modeling (SEM) approach.FindingsFindings indicate that integrated IS research model has substantial explanatory power, i.e. 57.8% to predict continuance intention of Internet banking users. Within integrated research model, intrinsic regulation was found the most influential factor in order to determine Internet banking user continuance intention. Beside two theories integration, this study confirmed that the relationship between user continuance intention and intention to recommend Internet banking is moderated by image.Practical implicationsThe fundamental contribution of this study is the integration of technological and motivational factors in Internet banking user continuance intention context. Theoretically, integration of both theories ECM and SDT in technology continuance intention context will enrich the emerging e-commerce literature. Concerning with managerial implications, intrinsic regulation was identified as an important factor among other factors. Therefore, managers and software developers need to understand user’s intrinsic motivational factors in order to boost continuance intention of Internet banking users. It is also suggested that managers and marketing personnel should pay special attention to create a positive image of Internet banking services among Internet banking users.Originality/valueWithin information system literature the concept of user continuance intention has yet to be examined especially in Internet banking context. Thus, current research fills research gap and proposes an integrated technology motivational framework that combines motivational factors and technology factors altogether to investigate Internet banking user continuance behavior.

Antecedents of continuance intention in online learning systems among vocational college students: The moderating effect of gender

“…These perceptions of usefulness may differ from or coincide with the users’ initial anticipations. The subsequent formation of satisfaction is caused by the confirmation of expectations and the perception of usefulness ( Rahi et al, 2022 ). Finally, a high degree of technical satisfaction will form a continuous intention ( Rabaa'i et al, 2021 ; Anjum et al, 2022 ; Huang et al, 2022 ).…”

“…Thus, students with high CSE may have a higher PU of online learning systems. However, low computer self-efficacy students will experience tension and anxiety when using computers, which will lower their judgment of their usefulness ( Rahi et al, 2022 ). Analysis based on the above literature review, the hypotheses are derived as follows:…”

What drives citizens to get the COVID-19 vaccine? The integration of protection motivation theory and theory of planned behavior

“…The estimation of structural model incorporates evaluation of path coefficient, coefficient of determination R 2 , standard error, significance and t -statistics (Rahi, 2021). Nevertheless, lateral collinearity issue must be addressed through variance inflation factors before structural model assessment (Rahi et al , 2022; Rahi et al , 2018). Therefore, results of the lateral collinearity revealed that VIF values of all endogenous factors were less than 3.3, and hence confirming that multi-collinearity is not likely issue in this research.…”

Determinants of continuance intention of using e-government services in Tanzania: the role of system interactivity as moderating factor

“…The theory has been widely used and empirically validated in explaining the post-adoption behaviour of several information systems used in different fields. In the context of this Determinants of continuance intention study, the theory has been used to study mobile government services and e-government services (Hariguna et al, 2020;Mandari and Koloseni, 2021;Rahi et al, 2022;Wijaya et al, 2019). The theory comprises of four key constructs which are confirmation of expectation, satisfaction, perceived usefulness and continuance intention.…”
