The results presented here support the proposal that, as an information-laden medium, a successful website must be able to use its attributes to satisfy both the information and entertainment needs of users.
Abstract
Can websites be designed to be both utilitarian and hedonic? This article approaches this question by identifying Web attributes, their direct impacts on experiential flow, and their direct and indirect impacts on the utilitarian and hedonic aspects of Web performance. The results presented here support the proposal that, as an information-laden medium, a successful website must be able to use its attributes to satisfy both the information and entertainment needs of users.

A model was developed and tested with linear structural relationship modeling (LISREL) with data from 149 professionals employed in a variety of organizations and found flow, which is characterized by intense concentration and enjoyment, was found to be significantly linked with exploratory use behavior, which in turn was linked to extent of computer use.
