This study mainly modifies DeLone and McLean's Information Systems (IS) Success Model (2003), by adding an emotional attachment as an antecedent and post-use behavior intentions as a final dependent to form a new cognitive and emotional model which is used to evaluate the success of a social networking website. There were 410 undergraduates who were interviewed that have used Facebook and this study adopts a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach to examine the proposed model and the associated hypotheses. This study arrives at the following results: (1) Both information system quality and emotional attachment have positive effects on the post-use behavior intentions, (2) The information system quality related to the cognition aspect affects the post-use behavior intentions only through user satisfaction as a mediator. However, the emotional attachment related to the emotional aspect not only directly affects the post-use behavior intentions, but also indirectly affects the post-use behavior intentions through user satisfaction as a mediator. The effect of the emotional attachment on post-use behavior intentions is greater than the effect of the information system quality. (3) The model of this study verifies this fact that, 'technology always derives from humanity'. Differing from DeLone and McLean's (2003) research and conclusion on a business information system website, with regard to a social networking website with hedonic characteristics, the operator should pay more attention on the users' emotional attachment on this website besides the consideration of the importance of the information system quality proposed by DeLone and McLean (2003). That is because the users' emotional attachment on a social networking website can lead to a higher loyalty and word of mouth on the website compared to the information system quality, and finally results in the long-term success of a social networking website. |
