隨著時代的演變,數位科技讓人與人之間的交流愈來愈便利,在1996年11月第一款使用者用於網際網路的即時通訊軟體上市,至今即時通訊 (Instant Message)已廣泛成為人際溝通互動的主要方式之一。近幾年來智慧手機的興起,行動即時通訊軟體已慢慢取代即時通訊。 本研究目的在於探討使用者對於使用行動即時通訊軟體是否會因為某些因素影響持續使用的意願,以Bhattacherjee (2001)所發展之IS接受後持續採用模式(A Post-acceptance Model of IS Continuance)為基礎,加入主觀規範(Subjective Norm)、關鍵多數(Critical Mass)及享樂價值(Hedonic Value)構念。本研究亦檢驗此些影響因素之顯著性。
