Effects of Trust and Cognitive Absorption on Smart Phone Use and User Satisfaction

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore determinants which affect the significant increase in the user acceptance of smart phone. This study also analyzes the effect of each variable on the actual acceptance by empirical methods. In this study, first, the system quality and the service quality are defined as independent variables based on developed IS success model of DeLone & McLean(2003). Second, we proposed the research model by providing trust and perceptual immersion as intermediate variables, and user satisfaction and actual use as dependent variables by the proceeding research for accepting information technology and new service. Third, the statistical analysis is conducted by surveying to 200 smart phone users for verifying a validity of research models and hypotheses. As a result, almost hypotheses are accepted in confidence interval except for the hypothesis between security and trust variable.
