It is argued that users’ intention to continue using a IS technology is determined by their commitment to that specific technology and moderated by the brand-specific technology product.
Abstract
Incorporating commitment theory from social psychology and management science literature, this paper proposes a IS continuance model that explains users’ intention to continuously use IS technologies. We argue that users’ intention to continue using a IS technology (i.e., IS continuance) is determined by their commitment to that specific technology and moderated by the brand-specific technology product. Three dimensions of technology commitment, affective commitment, continuance commitment, and normative commitment, are identified to formulate a research model. The hypotheses are empirically tested and the model accounts for 70.9% of variances. Results and contributions of this research-in-progress model are discussed.

TAUT provides a useful tool for managers needing to assess the likelihood of success for new technology introductions and helps them understand the drivers of acceptance in order to proactively design interventions targeted at populations of users that may be less inclined to adopt and use new systems.

A theoretical extension of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is developed and tested that explains perceived usefulness and usage intentions in terms of social influence and cognitive instrumental processes and significantly influenced user acceptance.

There appears to be general agreement among social psychologists that most human behavior is goal-directed (e. g., Heider, 1958 ; Lewin, 1951), and human social behavior can best be described as following along lines of more or less well-formulated plans.

The results suggest that users' continuance intention is determined by their satisfaction with IS use and perceived usefulness of continued IS use, and that post-acceptance perceived usefulness is influenced by users' confirmation level.

It is concluded that TAM is a useful model, but has to be integrated into a broader one which would include variables related to both human and social change processes, and to the adoption of the innovation model.

A confirmatory, empirical test of the revised Technology Acceptance Model TAM confirmed that the TAM is a valuable tool for predicting intentions to use an IS and introduced and objective measure of technology acceptance, actual usage rather than self-report usage, which supports that self- report usage may not be an appropriate surrogate measure for actual usage.

This thesis suggests that the commitment phenomenon is better explained through what can be called strategic, operational and personal commitment nets, which can be used for analyzing the unfolding and alteration of commitment towards a specific entity, in this case a software process improvement endeavor, through time and changing circumstances.
