Abstract
This paper systematically reviews the literature on the continuous usage intentions from 2009 to 2015. From the review of literature on
continuance usage intentions, some models have been put forward to explain the continuity of the e-Commerce. However, each model is
extensively different from one another. Over the years, a considerable development in the literature of Continuous intentions. However,
there is still a necessity to present a more comprehensive and integrative model for the continuance usage intention of e-commerce users
than the models in existence at the moment. The Expectation Confirmation Model (ECM) has been widely accepted in general. In addi-
tion, many researchers stated that ECM model can be employed to look into e-commerce better than other existing models and theories.
Keywords: Expectation Confirmation Model (ECM); Systematic literature review; continuance usage intention; e-commerce
1. Introduction
Over the past few years, the growth of information technology has
become the main factor for many organisations to take advantage
on the most advanced technology and the latest innovation to at-
tain competitive advantage. Most advanced technology is widely
used to solve their organisational problems and to accelerate eco-
nomic growth (Abubakar and Tasmin, 2012; Abu Shanab et al.,
2010). The most important outcome of information technology is
the Internet, which has proven to be the most significant product
of the century (Mitchell et al., 2011). The Internet has been used
on a large scale particularly in many industries for financial trans-
action, electronic payment, e-commerce service, and other bank-
ing activities to benefit the customers (Lee, 2009; Mitchell et al.,
2011). Nevertheless, some people are still reluctant to continue
using online comenrece (Yaghoubi, 2010) and typically refuse to
use technology. Just like other banks in this world, Jordanian
banks are also facing similar challenge. The present study re-
viewed the literature on e-commerce continuance usage.
2. Review of Literature on Continuance Us-
age
Recently, huge amount of research has been conducted to identify
the determinants of the continuance usage intentions of the cus-
tomers in the context of online banking services. This is due to the
dynamic nature of e-commerce that provide benefits to both cus-
tomers and service providers with ease of use. Recent develop-
ments in IT led EC/IS and marketing scholars to continue studying
determinants of e-commerce continuance usage. Some studies
continued to study determinants of initial adoption of e-commerce,
while more recent studies addressed the determinants of continu-
ance usage of e-commerce (e.g., Chung and Kwon, 2009; Yu and
Fang, 2009; Kang et al., 2012; Laforet and Li, 2005; Gu et al.,
2009; Shen et al., 2010). Existing studies on continuance usage of
e-commerce are analytically reviewed in Table 1.
