description Mobile shopping applications have become a popular channel to reach the omnipresent consumer of today. However, the market space has become highly competitive and therefore, cultivating repurchase behaviour has become pivotal to retain market share and boost sustainability. While the literature regarding initial purchase via a mobile shopping application is well developed, knowledge on how to foster repurchase behaviour in this context is still scarce. The purpose of this research was to explore the consumers’ continuous behavioural intention towards using mobile shopping apps. More specifically, the study investigated to what extent does consumers’ continuance behavioural intention to purchase using mobile shopping applications is shaped by various factors. This study employed the Stimulus- Organism-Response (S-O-R) model as the theoretical framework as well as Delone and McLean’s Information System success model, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Expectation-Confirmation Model (ECM), Flow theory, and mobile featured factors to develop a research model based on a comprehensive literature review. Accordingly, factors of system quality, service quality, information quality, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, flow experience, perceived ubiquity, interactivity, perceived enjoyment, visual appeal (as Stimulus factors), satisfaction (as Organism factor), and repurchase intention and WOM intention (as Response factors) were included in the research model. In addition, flow experience was considered as the moderator factor on the relationships towards Response factors.
