Examining internet banking user’s continuance intention through the lens of technology continuance theory and task technology fit model

Abstract

Purpose The long-term success of internet banking (IB) services is connected with continuous use. Therefore, examining factors which influence IB user continuance intention is important. Grounded in technology continuance theory, bank transparency and task technology fit (TTF) model, the purpose of this study is to develop a unified technology continuance model to investigate IB user continuance intention. Design/methodology/approach The research model was empirically tested with 348 responses. Respondents included in this study had prior experience with IB services. For hypotheses testing, the structural equation modelling approach was used. Findings Findings indicate that the research model has substantial power in explaining IB user continuance intention. Importance performance matrix analysis revealed that bank transparency had the highest importance in determining IB user continuance intention. Therefore, factors like user satisfaction and perceived usefulness have shown a medium level of importance in determining IB user continuance intention. Satisfaction is influenced by perceived usefulness and confirmation and established a significant impact on IB user continuance intention. Practical implications The findings of this research are useful for bank managers and policymakers to develop and design IB services according to user’s expectations. Results demonstrate that expectation confirmation and perceived usefulness are antecedents of IB user satisfaction and IB user continuance intention. In addition to that bank, transparency has shown a significant effect on user expectation and IB user continuance intention. These findings established that accuracy in sharing bank information and clarity in transaction charges encourage the user to continue the use of IB services. Originality/value The current study develops a unified technology continuance model based on the TTF model and technology continuance theory and investigates IB user continuance intention. Moreover, bank transparency is added in the technology continuance model and established a significant impact towards user expectation confirmation and continuance intention. These findings contribute to the limited body of research in the context of IB user continuance intention and enrich information system literature.

From theory to practice: An integrated TTF-UTAUT study on electric vehicle adoption behavior

“…Therefore, the individual and technology characteristics better explain the customer’s intention to adopt EVs. Prior literature explains the adoption concept in various domains such as automotive [ 14 ], banking [ 15 , 16 ], education [ 17 ], healthcare [ 18 ], manufacturing [ 19 ], and tourism [ 20 ]. Amidst evolving EV adoption literature, there is a growing recognition for diverse framework beyond traditional theories, necessitating deeper exploration of individual and technology dynamics.…”

Determinants of continuance intention to use food delivery apps: findings from PLS and fsQCA

“…The degree to which an individual expects to obtain strategic or operational benefits from using a new technology is referred to as its PU (Chen et al, 2015). If a system fails to deliver apparent advantages, it will probably lead to dissatisfaction, unfavorable attitudes and discontinuance (Rahi and Abd Ghani, 2021). Prior research has postulated that PU is a vital predecessor of customers' continuance intention to use FDAs (Silva et al, 2022), which can also enhance their satisfaction and formulate their attitudes (Foroughi et al, 2019).…”

Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) and Trust Factors for the Continuance Intention of Mobile Payment Services

“…It indicates the degree to which technical features or functionalities are enough to support a user's task or requirement [29]. The fitness between task and technology can increase the perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and thus, the satisfaction [30]. Therefore, positive HCI experiences, which depend on ease of use and design could also be affected by the fit between the attributes of the technology (e.g., usability, functionality, performance, and security) and the attributes of the mobile payment tasks and processes (e.g., using smartphones to complete the authentication process, making a purchase, exchanging money with another party, checking the bank balance, wiring money, and keeping track of spending behaviors).…”
