“…The measures of perceived involvement such as emotional involvement, customisability, and participation were selectively adopted from Kalyanaraman and Sundar (2006). Perceived connectedness was measured with the items (perceived availability) used by Shin (2009) and the items (perceived synchronicity) used by Schroeder (2002). Flow experience was measured using the work of Trevino and Webster (1992), Rettie (2001), and Shin and Kim (2008) who gauge one's level of flow with constructs such as control, attention, and telepresence.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate users' underlying motivations for engaging in social networking through online social networking services (SNS) compared with their behaviour. It seeks to examine the differences between USA, and Korean users.Design/methodology/approachThe study surveyed SNS users in the USA and Korea to determine the key differences between the two countries. Survey questions, developed in English and Korean, were presented in each country to explore the influences of various factors from the modified Technology Acceptance Model on SNS user dimensions. The analytic design methods were based on structural equation modelling and applied to the data gathered. The TAM factors of SNS were analysed, focusing on the differences in motives between the two countries.FindingsThe results of the online survey of SNS users validated the proposed theoretical model's ability to explain and predict user acceptance of SNS very well. While the results illustrate the importance of both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, the two countries showed different sets of motivations, providing useful implications for theory and practice.Practical implicationsBased on the results of the study, practical applications for marketing strategies in online SNS markets and theoretical applications for cross‐national studies are recommended.Originality/valueDespite the burgeoning interest in SNS, only a few studies have explored the acceptance of SNS in a cross‐national manner, leading to a paucity of information on how different cultures influence acceptance of online services.

“…In this respect, it is worth mentioning that even though UGT factors have been widely tested over the related area of e-learning (i.e. Gallego et al, 2016;Han et al, 2015;Mondi et al, 2008;Shin, 2009), there are very few attempts that have adopted this theory to test AR.LRP. Also, prior studies have commonly test the impact of UGT on the users' intention, adoption, and satisfaction…”

“…Furthermore, from a conceptual stance it may be argued that consumers perceive MI access on the one hand and mobile voice telephony as well as SMS on the other as not being functionally related to each other or, in media theory parlance, as not providing the user with the same gratifications (Shin, 2009). Thus, taken together, the Verkasalo result and theoretical considerations favor the hypothesis:…”

AbstractPurpose -This paper aims to empirically explore the extent to which actual use intensity of mobile internet (MI) access is influenced by factual use conditions and evaluative perceptions of MI adopters. Furthermore, it analyzes relationships between this usage behavior and mobile voice call as well as SMS activity quantities at the individual customer level.Design/methodology/approach -Indicators of actual MI, voice call and SMS use intensity were obtained for a sample of 443 MI customers of a mobile network operator (MNO) in Germany. The objective behavioral measures were integrated with adopter responses collected through a standardized telephone survey.Findings -Factual MI use conditions (MI tariff type and appliance class, fixed broadband internet home access) were significant predictors of MI use intensity, whereas MI-related evaluative perceptions (e.g. MI value assessment) were not. Distributions of MI, voice telephony, and SMS use intensities were highly skewed. A small group of users disproportionately contributed to the total MI traffic generated by the sample. Most customers use MI only to a limited extent after the initial adoption. MI use intensity was not significantly correlated with mobile voice communication or SMS activity levels.Research limitations/implications -The study included data only from early MI subscribers of one MNO in a single country. The system-captured MI use intensity indicator did not distinguish between different variants of MI services. Measures of factual MI use circumstances were not very fine-grained. Common potential perceptual antecedents of MI acceptance (e.g. usefulness, ease of use) were excluded due to constraints imposed by the collaborating MNO.Practical implications -The research indicates that MNO should consider promoting MI use intensity by offering ''packages'' that encompass a flat rate and a laptop at special bundle prices. Further, MNO are well-advised to develop activities which discourage customers who do not already have a fixed broadband access at home from the acquisition of such an installation in the future. Finally, managers are urged to critically reflect the validity of single rater studies on MI acceptance be...
