Tiivistelmä
Post adoption behaviours have been a hot topic in IS research.
However, little research has been conducted to explore important post adoption
behaviour – word of mouth. This paper investigated the factors influencing
individual e-service users’ word of mouth behaviour based on an empirical
study in the context of online travel services. This study found that satisfaction,
perceived usefulness and service quality affect e-service users’ word of mouth
positively. The study results imply that individuals would like to spread word
of mouth more based on e-service attributes and service performance than on
their own affect.
