Every year, individuals and organizations end up adopting (licensing) many competing software products.

Although much research in the IS field has examined initial IS adoption, less is known about such post-adoption behavior. This article argues that a...

For over a decade, researchers have devoted much effort to construct theoretical models, such as the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Expectation Confirmation Model (ECM) for explaining and predicting user behavior in IS acceptance and continuance. Another model, the Cognitive Model (COG), was proposed for continuance behavior; it combines some of the variables used in both TAM and ECM...

Continued use of strategic information systems is not always a given. This study proposes that users’ trust in the system may influence their satisfaction and continuance intention. While trust has been found to have strategic implications for understanding consumers’ technology usage, relatively little research has examined how trust’s influence operates over time. To gain insight into trust’s...

The tremendous development of technologies over recent decades has offered many e-learning systems to faculty educators to support teaching. The advantage of using such systems in connection with onsite courses is that it increases flexibility in teaching/learning by making resources available online. However, there is little empirical evidence to suggest which factors shape educators’ continua...

While e-learning has the potential to offer cost effective and flexible training methods, practitioners are concerned with low completion rates. Although several reasons have been put forward to explain e-learning attrition, n...

The increasing importance of service systems in the global economy prompts researchers to focus on quality to measure the critical interaction between human behavior, IT and society. Building on service-dominant logic and sociomaterialism, this study develops and validates a quality model and measures its overall impact on individual (value, satisfaction), organizational (i.e., continuance inte...

continuance is one of the most important reasons for the permissibility of primary emulation of a deceased mujtahid regarding those issues for which he has a fatwa. it has been reported in four different formulations. and in its critique, various notions have been suggested: the abrogation of the matter or subject, its being suspended, the continued matter or ruling (the mustashab) being neithe...
