The mediating effects of habit on continuance intention

作者:

Highlights:

• Consumer attitudes are stronger predictors of continuance intention, with or without any mediation effects from habit.

• Consumer satisfaction was moderated by habit; which means that consumers can enhance their level of satisfaction by developing a habit.

• Formed habits and aversion to change seem positively correlated to satisfaction: as one becomes more satisfied, one feels habit.

• Habit is a stronger predictor of intention than satisfaction.

• Consumers, all things held equal, default to habit; in the absence of rational data, or given beliefs that competitors are largely undifferentiated, consumers continue to use the same product.
