Based on a self-administered survey data set of 441 Vietnamese consumers, partial least square structural equation modeling is used to test the hypotheses.
The results show that CFC-Immediate and CFC-Future are important in explaining continuance intention to use mobile commerce, but their roles are different due to the asymmetric impact on perceived risk versus perceived security as well as their moderating effects on the perceived risk, security and continuance intention. This study is unique since it explores the different roles of CFC-Immediate and CFC- Future in explaining continuance intention to use mobile commerce under the trade- off role of perceived risk versus perceived security. Keywords: Consideration of future consequences; perceived risk and security; continuance intention; direct, asymmetric and moderating effects.

luan an 1 CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION This chapter aims to introduce the research background and to present research gaps. Accordingly, the literature review demonstrates that there still a lack of studies that simultaneously investigates both risk and security to form more comprehensive pictures of if and how opposite determinants are related to continuance intention to use mobile commerce. This literature review additionally demonstrates the need to investigate continuance intention to adopt MC from the perspective of consideration of future consequences. Based on the identified research gap, this chapter postulates four research objectives and four corresponding research questions.
Next, research methodology and scope are described. Finally, four expected research contributions are introduced in academic and practical ways. Definition of key terms Table 1-1 postulates key terms used in the current studies as well as their definition and source(s) Table 1-1: Definition of key terms used in the present research Key terms Definition Source(s) Mobile commerce Mobile commerce is considered as Khoi, Tuu conducting transactions on mobile and Olsen devices (smartphone, tablets) via (2018) wireless connections such as mobile internet (e., 3G, 4G) or wireless internet Consideration of An individual differences Strathman, future consequences characteristic reflecting the extent to Gleicher, which people consider the potential Boninger and distant outcomes of their current Edwards (1994) behaviors and are influenced by those potential outcomes Consideration of Consideration of future Joireman, future consequences- consequences scale contains questions Balliet, Sprott, Immediate tapping concern with immediate Spangenberg consequences and Schultz Consideration of Consideration of future (2008) future consequences- consequences scale contains questions Future tapping concern with future luan an 2 Key terms Definition Source(s) consequences Perceived risk Perceived risk is defined as Featherma potential negative outcomes or losses of n and Pavlou a decision to use mobile commerce (2003), Kim, Ferrin and Rao (2008), Luo, Li, Zhang and Shim (2010) Perceived Perceived security is defined as Cheung security positive results of safety process and and Lee (2006), store transaction information in relation Hartono, to using mobile commerce Holsapple, Kim, Na and Simpson (2014, p. 12), Kim, Tao, Shin and Kim (2010b) Continuance Continuance intention is defined Chong intention to use mobile as an individual’s subjective probability (2015) commerce that a consumer will continue using mobile commerce (Source: author’s summarization) 1.
Research background Previous studies have considered the significant evolvement of mobile devices and mobile internet technologies in recent year (Hanafizadeh, Behboudi, Koshksaray and Tabar, 2014, Malaquias and Hwang, 2016) as an important facilitator of the development and proliferation of mobile applications and mobile business (Celik, 2016, Lu, 2014). As a result, mobile commerce has emerged as an alternative and modern type of shopping among consumers (Khoi et al., 2018, Phong, Khoi and Le, 2018, Shao, Zhang, Li and Guo, 2019). Because mobile commerce use mobile devices and wireless internet connection, the key benefits of this modern type of commerces are ubiquity, accessibility, convenience, localization, instant connectivity, time sensitivity and security (Anil, Ting, Moe and Jonathan, 2003, Nassuora, 2013, Sanakulov and Karjaluoto, 2015, Zhang, Zhu and Liu, 2012).
