Determinants of Continuance Intention to Use Open Data Website: An Insight from Indonesia

Open data is a flagship initiative in open government program to increase transparency, social and commercial value, and participatory governance. Open data is a relatively new field and the factors affecting its continuance use by citizen has not been widely studied. A better understanding of these factors can help government to formulate policies and strategies that can improve the acceptance and use of open data website. The research model is based on the Theory of Planned Behavior and integrated with the technology quality and trust factors. Data collection was conducted using questionnaire. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to test the research model. The results show that attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control and trust directly affect continuance intention to use open data website. Systems quality affects perceived ease of use, while information quality positively affects perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and trust. Both perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use affect user’s attitude. The analysis of this study suggests that each influencing factor provides implications for government to stimulate the continuance use of open data website.

Library usage by university accounting students : a comparison of contact and open distance learning institution in South Africa

This study examines the current level of library patronage among accounting students both in the distance and a contact learning institution in South Africa. There is a relative absence of studies of academic library usage by accounting students. The low level of library usage, that is, low level of library visits and poor research skills of undergraduate accounting students has been attributed to the difficulty in integrating accounting curriculum with information literacy. However, the challenge facing academic librarians is persuading both academic faculty and accounting students to integrate information literacy into their curriculum and to convince individual students to make time in their schedules for library usage. In South Africa, this problem is compounded when it is a requirement of the accreditation body, The South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA), which requires academic departments to integrate library usage into the accounting curriculum for their programme to be accredited. The study examines the current level of library patronage among accounting students both in a distance and a contact learning institution in South Africa. The sub-objectives of the study were to investigate the reasons for low level of library patronage among accounting students in South African Universities; to determine what features would make the use of a library for locating information that is relevant and attractive to university accounting students in a contact and a distance learning institution in South Africa; and to investigate what, if any, improvements to library service can be made to make the use of the library of significant importance. Using a survey research method that utilises a structured questionnaire, this study gathered data from a sample of 500 accounting students from a distance and a contact learning institution in South Africa, out of which 379 returned completed questionnaire, representing 76%. The finding indicates that as with most accounting students across the world, South African students are no exception because of the peculiarity and design of their programme curriculum that provides recommended texts for students’ usage. The findings further show that the apathy of library services patronage among university accounting students in South Africa is exacerbated by lecturers who seldom give assignments or tasks that require the students to search for information beyond the recommended textbooks. Findings indicate that the most significant factor that influences accounting students of universities to patronise library resources are the expertise and interaction of the library staff. This is supported by the Expectation-Confirmation Theory framework which posits that patrons will continue to use library services only if their perceived perception of the usefulness of the services are satisfied. In this case, accounting students from both institutions examined in this study confirm the Expectation-Confirmation Theory framework of satisfaction being based on the perception of the library services they receive. The study recommends that in motivating accounting students to patronise library services, library management needs to understand the discipline-specific teaching and learning practices and collaborate with curriculum developers in the accounting discipline to incorporate the use of library services in their programme. Further study is encouraged to include all universities that offer accounting programmes in South Africa for a more robust finding.Information ScienceM. Inf. (Information Science

Repurchase intention model for mobile shopping application users in Malaysia

Mobile shopping applications have become a popular channel to reach the omnipresent consumer of today. However, the market space has become highly competitive and therefore, cultivating repurchase behaviour has become pivotal to retain market share and boost sustainability. While the literature regarding initial purchase via a mobile shopping application is well developed, knowledge on how to foster repurchase behaviour in this context is still scarce. The purpose of this research was to explore the consumers’ continuous behavioural intention towards using mobile shopping apps. More specifically, the study investigated to what extent does consumers’ continuance behavioural intention to purchase using mobile shopping applications is shaped by various factors. This study employed the Stimulus- Organism-Response (S-O-R) model as the theoretical framework as well as Delone and McLean’s Information System success model, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Expectation-Confirmation Model (ECM), Flow theory, and mobile featured factors to develop a research model based on a comprehensive literature review. Accordingly, factors of system quality, service quality, information quality, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, flow experience, perceived ubiquity, interactivity, perceived enjoyment, visual appeal (as Stimulus factors), satisfaction (as Organism factor), and repurchase intention and WOM intention (as Response factors) were included in the research model. In addition, flow experience was considered as the moderator factor on the relationships towards Response factors. In an attempt to examine the relationships between the dependent and independent variables, this study adopted a quantitative, cross-sectional approach, consistent with the positivist paradigm. A structured survey questionnaire was administered to a total of 240 consumers who had previously shopped via a mobile shopping application, using a non-probability purposive sampling approach. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to test cause-effect relationships in the model. The results indicated that consumers’ satisfaction with mobile app was significantly explained by the factors of system quality, service quality, visual appeal, perceived ubiquity, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and flow experience. Satisfaction significantly explained consumers repurchase intention and word-ofmouth (WOM) intention. Finally, the moderation analysis revealed that flow experience significantly moderated the relationships towards repurchase intention and WOM intention. This research provides a better insight for future researchers and organizations on continuous usage intention of mobile shopping apps
