Abstract : Despite the worldwide popularity and rapid
proliferation of social networking sites (SNS), e.g., Facebook, our
understanding about what drive people to SNS and how they use them
remains limited. This study aims at establishing a theoretical framework
guiding the research on SNS usage. Built upon the Theory of Acceptance
and Use of Technology (UTAUT), the framework makes following major
extensions: 1) taking a feature-centric perspective in conceptualizing
SNS usage; 2) adopting uses and gratifications paradigm to specify the
performance expectancies; 3) accounting for the other important social
influences (identification and group norms); 4) accounting for the role
of anticipated emotions; and 5) accounting for habituation by including
prior usage.
