Highlights：

• We examined SaaS determinants using the TOE framework and institutional theory.

• We reconfigured the TOE framework to examine its moderator effects.

• We show that the TOE contexts are significant influencers of SaaS adoption.

• We provide evidence of the environmental context as a moderator.

• We confirm the usefulness of integrating the INT and the TOE framework.
