Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the structural relationship of information quality, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, consumer resistance, satisfaction, flow, user habit, and word of mouth intention of YouTube service users. To this end, we reviewed various literatures and developed a new research model based on integrated model of TAM(Technology Acceptance Model) and consumer resistance, and habit theory. For the study, we collected data from respondents who have used the YouTube service and conducted an empirical test. The main results of this study are as follows.
