scholarly journals Users’ Continuance Intention to Use a Mobile Application

This study examines factors that influence users’ continuance intention to use a mobile application. There exist few empirical researches focused solely on examining factors influencing users’ continuance intention of using mobile applications. An empirical analysis is conducted with data collected from 431 smartphone users in China. Two Application Personality dimensions i.e., Enthusiasm and Unpleasantness and one User Perception dimension i.e., Aesthetics found to have no significant impact on Application Continuance Intention; while Genuineness and Sophistication from Application Personality dimensions and Ease of Use and Perceived Control from User Perception dimensions have a positive significant influence. This study provides an insight to application developers on how to improve the quality and usability of mobile applications and enhance continues use.

The extensive usage of smart phones and digital applications has changed the lifestyle, this trend has also affected tourism, it has transformed the tourism industry ways to access visitors during travelling. Mobile applications are used for different purpose in tourism from booking, mapping, finding locations and payments. Mobile application usage is very common in Thailand. Though, the drivers behind increased use of such applications in hospitality enterprises and markets in Samut Parkan province is still unidentified and imprecise. On the basis of Theory of Acceptance this paper is targeted to identify the factors that drives tourist’s continuous intention to use mobile application. A purposive sampling was instigated in restaurants, food stalls, souvenirs shops in Bang Nam Pheung Market, compiling 415 useful survey responses to check that how different drivers such as personal innovation, awareness and destination infrastructure risk impact continuous intention to use mobile application. This study also examined the moderation effect of information knowledge on interconnection among Mobile applications drivers and tourist intention to uses the mobile applications. This study is offering several helpful points and recommendations for tourism organizations and government to effectively incorporate mobile application. Mobile application developers can also refer to this paper.

Companies are now recognizing that their employees require a spectrum of mobile applications in order to achieve maximum efficiency at the workplace. Mobile applications such as WeChat, Twitter and WhatsApp via smartphones have become influential tools and extensively used by employees at the workplace. This state-of-the-art technology in communication has penetrated various fields, including routine administrative jobs at the workplace. The objective of this research is toinvestigate the acceptance of the WhatsApp mobile application for formal use among support staff at The Commission of the City of Kuching North, Sarawak (DBKU). Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and behavioral intention of the users in using WhatsApp are the variables measured for job performance. The researchers utilized convenience sampling, whereby a total of 105 employees from two departments participated in the investigation. Data was collected using a set of selfadministered questionnaires which was adapted from Davis. The findings revealed that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of WhatsApp as a means of communication were significant for job performance at DBKU. The employees felt more competent during their formal interaction at the workplace as less effort was needed while using WhatsApp. The existence of features which were user-friendly and easy operational functions helped to create positive attitudes when utilizing the application. Faster feedback, ease of use, and convenience were some of the reasons for the employees’ willingness to use WhatsApp for communication at the workplace.

The increasing use of mobile applications by travellers and the high adaption of tourism companies into this new contact and sales platform, made it necessary to comprehensively investigate the mobile application users’ behaviours. This research combines the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) framework and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to develop a theoretical background in examining travel booking behaviour of mobile application users. The conceptual model suggests that mobile application quality (MAQ) directly affects perceived ease of use (PEOU) and perceived usefulness (PU) which influence the intention to use (IU) mobile applications. Moreover, the offline brand trust (BT) has been hypothesised as a moderator between PEOU and PU's impacts on IU mobile applications. Analyses results indicated that system and service quality dimensions of MAQ significantly affect IU mobile application via PEOU and PU. Moreover, offline BT had both direct and moderator influences on the formation of IU mobile application. The study findings contributed to the theory in understanding mobile application users’ behaviours and suggested valuable managerial strategies in the m-commerce context.

PurposeRetailers are increasingly using self-service technologies to improve customer experience and reduce costs. The purpose of this study is to identify factors that could explain the level of continuance intention of mobile self-scanning applications in retail. Based on previous theoretical streams, the present study integrates technology readiness (TR) and service quality into the technology acceptance model.Design/methodology/approachUsing data collected through an online survey of 217 users of a mobile self-scanning application of a large supermarket chain operating in Portugal, the study uses partial least squares structural equation modeling to test the proposed hypotheses.FindingsThe results indicate that the continuance usage of the self-scanning apps is directly driven by users' satisfaction and perceived usefulness. Findings also show that TR has a positive and significant impact on ease of use and perceived usefulness. Ease of use has a positive impact on users' satisfaction and perceived usefulness but has no direct effect on the continuance intention to use the application. Perceived quality has a positive direct effect on satisfaction and a positive indirect effect on continuance intention. Finally, need for interaction has a negative effect on TR.Originality/valueThis work contributes to a better understanding of the emerging market for mobile self-scanning applications in retail applications, particularly relevant in a digital transition context.

mHealth is one of China’s national strategies that brings affordable, accessible, and convenient health care to its entire population, may they be in cities or rural areas. Although Chinese young adults are among the first to adopt mHealth, the factors influencing Chinese young adults to use mHealth are yet to be studied both empirically and in depth. This study explores the mechanism that determines Chinese young adults’ intention to use mHealth, based on an extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The extended TAM was tested using responses from 486 Chinese young adults. The results showed that perceived usefulness strongly and significantly influenced people’s intention to use mHealth. Additionally, communication effectiveness, health consciousness, and perceived ease of use were found as significant factors influencing people’s intention to use mHealth through perceived usefulness. Distrust was not found to significantly influence people’s intention to use mHealth.
