Due to the rapid growth of mobile data service (MDS), research into MDS continuance has recently emerged as an important issue in information systems (IS) and marketing literature. This study develops an integrated model designed to predict a user’s continuance behavior toward MDS based on the expectation–confirmation model (ECM) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Empirical data collecte...

Due to the rapid growth of social net services (SNSs), research into SNSs continuance has recently emerged as an important issue in information systems. This study develops an integrated model designed to predict older adults’ continuance behavior toward SNSs based on the expectation-confirmation model (ECM), the task technology fit (TTF) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB). The hypothesiz...
