Modeling continuance intention towards Mobile Travel Service System (MTSS): a theoretical perspective of motivation and dependency

Abstract

This work sets up a research model that elaborates upon the development of continuance intention towards Mobile Travel Service System (MTSS) based on the motivational theory and the dependency theory. In the model, continuance intention is indirectly affected by personal innovativeness and e-interaction quality through the full mediation of e-engagement and perceived enjoyment. At the same time, the relationships between e-engagement and continuance intention and between perceived enjoyment and continuance intention are hypothetically moderated by e-interaction quality. The hypotheses of this work were empirically tested using data from working professionals in a technology industry regarding their use of MTSS for travel information sharing as well as booking for accommodation, airline, cars, etc. This study conducted a two-wave survey to empirically test its theoretical rationales. The findings of this work complement the previous literature by verifying the full mediating mechanism of e-engagement and perceived enjoyment and the moderating mechanism of e-interaction quality. Lastly, managerial implications for e-marketers based on this study's findings are provided.

Integrative perceived values influencing consumers' attitude and behavioral responses toward mobile location-based advertising: an empirical study in Vietnam

“…On the contrary to our prediction and extant studies (Chiu et al , 2017), perceived enjoyment did not contribute to attitude in LBA. A reasonable explanation is the characteristic of emotions from users' experience rather than attainment of prespecified purposes of LBA adoption (Teng, 2018).…”

The effects of responsible leadership and knowledge sharing on job performance among knowledge workers

“…First, this study controlled social desirability in the empirical analysis to eliminate the bias caused by an individual's preference for social acceptability (Podsakoff et al , 2003). To alleviate the threat of CMV, scholars (Chiu et al , 2019; Lin et al , 2019) partialled out the effect of social desirability on outcomes (e.g. job performance) by directly controlling for social desirability (Podsakoff et al , 2003).…”

Continuance intention of online technologies: A systematic literature review

“…confirmation, trust, perceived enjoyment) and CI (e.g. Kwok et al, 2011;Tan and Kim, 2015;Chiu et al, 2019). Satisfaction is identified as the strongest predictor of CI, compared against other antecedents such as perceived usefulness (Mouakket, 2018).…”

“…Both satisfaction (e.g. Chang and Zhu, 2012;Chiu et al, 2019) and attitude (Amoroso and Lim, 2017; Ifinedo, 2017) have been identified as mediators between other CI antecedents (e.g. trust, perceived enjoyment) and CI.…”
