Abstract

Social network sites (SNSs) have become an essential interpersonal communication tool, and the number of global SNSs users is increasing at an astonishing rate. To fill the research gap on SNSs, this study examined the rarely discussed influence of website quality features and cognitive absorption on SNS acceptance. This cross-sectional study focused on comparing 250 users from Taiwan and 200 users from Indonesia to contribute to the growing field of information system (IS) and information technology (IT) literature on SNSs. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and multi-group analysis were used to analyze the data. The results indicated similarities and differences between the two countries, confirming that the effect of country moderates the SNS usage. This study demonstrated that website quality features attract users based on the perceived ease of use and perceivedÂ usefulness. Feelings of temporal dissociation, heightened enjoyment, and curiosity also arouse usersâ€™ intentions to use SNSs.

网站质量特征和认知吸收对社交网站使用的影响:一项跨国研究

社交网站(sns)已成为必不可少的人际交流工具，全球社交网站用户数量正以惊人的速度增长。为了填补社交网站的研究空白，本研究考察了很少被讨论的网站质量特征和认知吸收对社交网站接受度的影响。本横断面研究聚焦于比较250位台湾使用者与200位印尼使用者，以促进资讯系统(IS)与资讯科技(IT)领域对社交网站的研究。采用结构方程模型(SEM)和多组分析方法对数据进行分析。结果显示了两国之间的异同，证实了国家对社交网络使用的调节作用。本研究表明，网站质量特征吸引用户的基础上感知易用性和perceivedÂ有用性。时间分离的感觉、高度的享受和好奇心也会激发用户使用社交网站的意图。本文档引用:Ya-Hui Hsu,李Chien-Kuo建民,Na-Ting刘,“网站质量特性的影响和认知社交网络站点上吸收用法:跨国研究”,国际电子商务研究杂志》,第七卷,第二,pp.156 - 188, 2016。本文档的永久链接:http://dx.doi.org/10.7903/ijecs.1448 Â
