Understanding the drivers of continuance intention in online grocery shopping using technology continuance theory: a cross-national comparison.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThis study examined the determinants of consumers' continuance intention (CI) toward online grocery shopping (OGS) across different country markets. Drawing on technology continuance theory (TCT), this study compared key drivers of CI in a different countries market.
methodsData were collected via online surveys from 638 OGS users in China (n = 338) and South Korea (n = 300) between November and December 2023. A TCT-based model incorporating satisfaction, attitude, perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use, confirmation, and CI was tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling. Partial measurement invariance testing was conducted to ensure valid cross-national comparison.
resultsIn South Korea, both satisfaction and attitude significantly predicted CI, with satisfaction exerting a particularly strong effect. In China, attitude was the primary determinant of CI, whereas satisfaction had minimal impact. Across both countries, PU consistently and positively influenced satisfaction and attitude, thereby indirectly enhancing CI. Partial measurement invariance was confirmed, validating comparisons of the model across contexts.
conclusionThe findings suggest that the drivers of online grocery continuance differ by cross-national market. In Korean markets, strategies must enhance customer satisfaction (and its influence on attitude) to sustain OGS usage. In Chinese markets, fostering favorable consumer attitudes toward OGS is essential for promoting continued use. This cross-national analysis advances the theoretical understanding of continuance behavior while providing practical guidance for designing market-specific strategies to sustain online grocery engagement.
